It would be most appropriate for OW STAFF to reply to our discussion on phishing filters. If indeed OW chooses to ignore the ramifications of this development, then they are dismissing a major turning point in browser development.
Come on Omniweb, join in... we want to know what you are thinking, and how you plan to react to PayPal's threat. P.K. |
I'm not on the OmniWeb team, but it's worth pointing out that Paypal has [URL="http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/21/2352204"]disavowed plans to block any browsers[/URL].

This is mainly a members-helping-members type forum. The OG guys do drop in from time to time, but if you have a pressing issue the best way to get a response is to use the Send Feedback... option under "Help" in the browser.
PS. If you're looking for help, it's not the best idea to ignore what others post. I already pointed out PP is not blocking Safari in a previous post, yet you continue to state that PP has issued a "threat." |
1Password guys added support
1Password recently added support to every browser they are compatible with using Phishtank.com community supported data.
Of course it is a shareware application and if Omniweb had phishtank.com support, it wouldn't rely on a Input Manager (which is not essentially bad). I just tell for the 1password users and people planning to get a password manager or feeling insecure. |
Phishing
I just received my Consumer Reports and it stated to stay clear of Safari because of Phishing. It said to use either Opera or Firefox. Does Omniweb now offer a Phishing Filter?

[QUOTE]Does Omniweb now offer a Phishing Filter?[/QUOTE]
No. I agree with Forrest. These filters only protect you from known phishing sites. A little common sense goes a long way. Omniweb is not really a browser for web neophytes. Just don't click on links in your emails, or blind links on web sites, and never enter your pwersonal information unless you're on a known secure web site. Duh. I'd hate to see development resources wasted on this feature and taken away from fixing the anoyances we've been complaining about for months. |
If OmniWeb saves passwords in the Keychain and normally fills them in on a web form, does it not have to check that the domain is correct? Would not its failing to fill in a password in the normal way serve as an warning that something is awry?

And so what about this function in OW since it is now available in Safari and so a part of WebKit ?

That doesn't necessarily mean it's part of WebKit. |
