== Reception == OmniWeb was popular in the early 2000s when OmniGroup's experience developing for OpenStep (which became the foundation for Mac OS X) gave them an edge over other developers. Until Apple's Safari, the Omni Group had the best support for Mac OS X technologies among its competition (chiefly [[Firefox|Mozilla Firefox]] and [[Internet Explorer for Mac]]). John Siracusa, a technology journalist and critic writing for ''[[Ars Technica]]'', said, "Finding [this level of functionality] in a proper Mac OS X application from a respected developer with a proven track record is like finding a perfect 1/10,000th scale replica of the Eiffel Tower in a box of crackerjacks. Then the tower transforms into a tiny robot and makes you lunch."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://archive.arstechnica.com/reviews/004/software/mac/omniweb/m-ow5-6.htm |title=OmniWeb 5.0 Beta |first=John |last=Siracusa |publisher=Ars Technica |date=February 4, 2004 |access-date=December 8, 2018 |page=6}}</ref>
