Yup, I've been an OW user ever since OS X Public Beta, except for a brief period of using Chimera. >> Not that I know anything about the technical details, but OmniWeb is >> based on WebKit.

Omni switched to using WebKit instead of their own customized WebCore a while ago, so we lost things like ATS font rendering, but gained some compatibility and performance. I wrote a WebKit plugin that recognized the RIS MIME type and automatically loaded it into BibDesk, but I was never happy with it; for one thing, it requires a MIME type to be useful. Improving the experience in BibDesk would be easier and more profitable for us, in my opinion. adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
