According to the benchmark result of Macintalk, OmniWeb 5.5 beta is the fastest web browser for Mac OS X. The other selected browsers are Safari, Firefox, and Camino.
The result suprised me. OmniWeb is a few times faster than other browsers in rendering HTML documents. I tried OmniWeb before but didn’t see the speed different. I think OmniWeb version 5.5 has improved a lot.
OmniWeb is not free web browser. You need to pay $29.95 for a license.
