OmniWeb 5.5 final ships
The Omni Group has announced the final release of OmniWeb 5.5, a much-anticipated update to the popular web browser. OmniWeb 5.5 is based on a customized version of WebKit, offering increased speed, website compatibility, and stability. OmniWeb 5.5 is a Universal Binary, offers user defined style sheets for websites on a global or site-specific basis, and provides many overall fixes and improvements. The Mac OS X-specific web browser features a number of unique features, including graphical tabs, site-specific preferences, workspaces that save your individual browsing sessions, customizable web shortcuts, and much more. OmniWeb 5.5 is a free download for licensed 5.x owners, and is available in English and Internationalized version for Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later. A full license is $30, while upgrades are $10.

Version 5.5, released earlier this summer, is native for both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs, supports saving in the WebArchive format via the "Save As..." panel, offers a global and site preference for user defined style sheets in the Appearance pane, updates the Toolbars to use the Unified Toolbar, and adds a warning when users try reloading a page using POST.
