Well, I'm glad PowerPC support is not being dropped until Omniweb 6, at least.

Still, you'd be surprised at how well Omniweb 5.10 is running on Tiger on my Pismo. The new webkit still handles ye old G3 well. I understand that the time will come when of course we are left out in the dust (just like Adobe's abominable implementation of Flash means that pretty much any processor under 1 GHZ is not able to do it--including the iphone).

I'm not necessarily asking that we older users get all the nifty processor dependant features, or even core technologies that require 64 bit, etc. However, I think that as long as Safari includes Tiger support, I think we could at least keep a branch of Omniweb that has the latest webkit for those people still using Tiger on PowerPC. That includes almost every G3 and several years of g4's that cannot run leopard, but are otherwise still capable machines.

We are, after all, running on Macintosh, which has amazing longevity. A g4 is roughly the same power as an iphone, right? We aren't out of the running quite yet!
