How do I make OmniWeb remember its window size?
To set a default size and position for OmniWeb's browser windows, set up a window the way you like it and choose from the menu.
Once you've done this, new browser windows will always open at the size you've chosen. The chosen position will be used for the first window, and additional windows will cascade so that they don't appear right on top of each other (if there's room).
How do I customize the toolbars?
To customize OmniWeb's toolbars, use the various menu items under the menu to adjust the visibility of various toolbars, or to customize the navigation bar. For more detailed information please see Customizing OmniWeb.
How do I install and use plug-ins?
Please see the help page on plug-ins for more information.
How do I import bookmarks from other Web browsers?
Importing bookmarks from other browsers is covered in Bookmarks & History.
How do I edit and organize my bookmarks?
Editing and organizing bookmarks is covered in Bookmarks & History.
How do I configure OmniWeb to use a proxy server?
OmniWeb configures itself based on the information you enter in the System Preferences application, in the Network preference pane, under the Proxies tab. OmniWeb does not currently support .pac files, or Automatic Proxy Configuration files.
Is there any way to prevent my child from seeing objectionable content?
OmniWeb does not provide any controls for specifically filtering out content that is unacceptable for children. However, The Omni Group has licensed the technology behind OmniWeb to Freeverse software and they have built a fantastic web browser just for kids called Bumper Car.
How do I enable pop-up window and ad blocking in OmniWeb?
Please see the Ad Blocking preferences.
Just delete the OmniWeb application from wherever you installed it. OmniWeb also writes it's supporting files like bookmarks, history, workspaces, and cookies in the following location within your home folder: <~/Library/Application Support/OmniWeb 5/>.
The preferences file is also located in your home folder at <~/Library/Preferences/com.omnigroup.OmniWeb5.plist>.
And finally, the cache files are located in this folder inside of your home folder: <~/Library/Caches/com.omnigroup.OmniWeb5/>.
