I don't know. With the development of web today, it is inconceivable to pay for a web browser. It is up to Omni Group to imagine a situation where Omniweb would fit. If they can redesign it with a rich and advanced feature set (for example ssh/sftp sessions, some modern web development tools - remember Netscape Composer?) combined with intuitive and easy way of use, then probably they could justify charging for it. For such an effort to be successful, they need a good feeling on what people need or could need/use in their web life.
Another idea comes from iSkysoft's video converter. In fact, it has a built-in web browser. In the beginning I thought that it was just for the YouTube videos but when I threw it Google and some other web sites, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it could handle almost everything. I don't see of course how such an idea would work in the case of Omniweb. But who knows? Maybe it can.
