If there was a way to generate the crash report email and display it, so that I can copy and paste and send it to you, I could send you mine, too.

OmniWeb-6-r201776-Test.dmg was the most stable version since OmniWeb-6-r201127-Test.dmg. Subsequent OmniWeb-6-r201813-Test.dmg crashed immediately at startup.

Hmm, I just upgraded to 201813 and it launched just fine for me (and reopened a few dozen tabs scattered across a number of windows, including this one). Since I haven't been changing anything related to OmniWeb in these builds (which is why the release notes haven't changed), I suspect you're just experiencing the randomness of the crash in Apple's frameworks. (I think it's a timing-dependent concurrency issue.)

Is it just me or did Google Maps stop working? I’ve gone back through a number of previous builds and can’t find one test build that works.

After switching to Safari and activating the “new Google Maps” interface there, I can use the new Google Maps in OW again.

OW seems increasingly stable (I’m on 202575 currently). Are you guys nearing a stable release?

I would not say "stable". I still get crashes. Yesterday's build shows some improvements for me (google mail works again), but I already had two crashes with it.

I'm happy with an alpha or beta status as long as there is some progress. In my humble opinion, at this time OW is still pretty far from a product. There's just too many little details not yet working, like ad blocking or better feedback while loading a page.

Well, everything so far has eventually crashed, but it’s certainly more stable
than it was at the outset. The most recent release v. 203131 won’t even open for me so there’s still a ways to go. I do enjoy OW so much when I’m using it that I’m willing to stick with it as a test browser for as long as it takes.

I made some good progress over my December vacation, but then vacation ended without my managing to resolve that last big stability issue. Perhaps during my next one!

The crash reporter just opens a Compose window in Mail, it doesn't require that you send it there. (You can copy and paste it into something else.)

Mail does require that you configure an account before it will open a Compose window, but it could be any account on any mail server—and once it's set up you can tell Mail to go offline and not actually use it.
