OW taking over CPU Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
I bought OmniWeb some time ago and used it only briefly. The problem was that it went along fine for a while and then it would start eating memory until the CPU on my iMAc G5 was seriously affected to the point of crippling. I could only shut down and restart and move to another browser. This is why I stopped using OW.

Yesterday I downloaded the latest version to see if there had been a resolution to the problem. As for speed, it is vastly improved and I was thrilled, because I love this browser above all others. But this morning after a couple of hours the same old thing - memory spike followed by CPU in overdrive.

I want to be clear on one thing. This happens with every single browser in existence for Mac and I have them all. I would think it is my machine, but I've read in enough forums to know that this is a problem for very, very many, though not all Mac users. (None of this applies to my Toshiba PC laptop, btw, where any Windows browser works fine.) At first I blamed Firefox for Mac or Safari and that is how I ended up with all of these browsers, including OW.

So I can't blame OW for doing what every other browser in creation is doing. But OW is the only one I paid for, so I am hoping this issue has received better attention and is on the way to being a non-issue.

Again, I love this browser. But is there anything that can be done? Any trick I can use? Any hope for the future?

Thank you.
