In OmniWeb version 4.5, the Omni Group adopted Apple's KHTML-based WebCore rendering engine, which was created by Apple for its Safari browser. However, this engine was very slow, particularly when scrolling, and was not fully compatible with the most recent web standards, such as Cascading Style Sheets. The Omni Group originally employed its own proprietary HTML layout engine that use standard API NSText components. It makes use of multiple processors if available, and features an interface that made use of Aqua UI features such as drawers, sheets, and customizable toolbars. It uses Quartz to render images and smooth text. OmniWeb was developed using the Cocoa API which allow it to take full advantage of OS X features. From version 4.0 onwards, OmniWeb was developed solely for the OS X platform. After Lighthouse Design was bought by Sun Microsystems, the Omni Group released the product themselves, from version 2.5 onwards. These early versions of OmniWeb also run on Microsoft Windows through the Yellow Box or the OpenStep frameworks. As NeXTSTEP evolved into OPENSTEP and then Mac OS X, OmniWeb was updated to run on these platforms. OmniWeb was originally developed by Omni Group for the NeXTSTEP platform, and was released by Lighthouse Design on Ma after only one month's development time. Though a stable version is no longer maintained, it is still available as a free download and unstable versions are still being released. OmniWeb is a discontinued web browser that was developed and marketed by The Omni Group exclusively for Apple's macOS operating system.
