>>>>[RELEASE] Omega Browser v0.2 Pre-Alpha - Best VB.NET Browser<<<< - Ingenuity - Sep 9, 2011
Hey Guys,
It's been over a month since I last released a version of Omega Browser - and I regret to inform you that nothing spectacular has changed - but I do feel that some of the new features deserve a new release. The most prominent new features are:
-Advert blocking (using Privoxy. Took me bloody ages to hide the NotifyIcon for Privoxy on the bottom right whilst keeping the program open. I've finally done it though).
-Anti Phishing using Web of Trust.
-Webpage & Text Zooming.
-UI changed quite significantly.
Other new Features:
-Save webpage as well as supprting files - meaning that the page can be viewed offline with CSS and Image included
-Printing
Fixes:
-Much more stable & less crashes
-Rendering engine updated
Partially implemented:
-Document inspector (right click & go "Inspect Element" anywhere on a webpage to see progress).
Here's a new YouTube video (watch in 720p!):
And the older one (watch first if you're new to Omega)

Please give me feature suggestions, or just tell me what you think of it! Thanks!
EDIT: Does not work if you do not have Aero Glass enabled (smasher's error). Should have mentioned this before. Sorry guys, this will change in the future.

Lucky ur school doesn't check imported files...

Well I'll continue developing it for a long while into the future - I've been working on webbrowsers ever since I started VB, along with other stuff, even if people say that they're for Skids...
Edit: My school checks imported files too (so no exes from USBs or the web cos of UAC) but I just boot from Ubuntu Live, import the Windows registry & disable UAC. Problem solved.

My school's computer technician thinks he is really smart. When in reality, he is used to computers under Windows NT. LOL.

One question - do you use this browser in place of the major browsers? :3

Well, I plan for it to be comparable to some of the other browsers out there. It's probably true that I'll never get as big a user base as any of them, and I'll probably never get an addon framework as good as mainstream browsers. Nonetheless, I intend for Omega to be viable to replace other browsers in the future at some point.

Works fine, looks awesome! Good job Jack Eagles! :)
* - Ingenuity - Sep 10, 2011
Just wondering if anyone's got any feature requests/ideas? Thanks :)
* - doubleshot - Sep 10, 2011
I don't think this is a huge feature, but can you make changeable homepage? :)
for now, i can't see where i can change homepage.

Note the Pre-Alpha in the title. That means that I'm still developing features and that some basic stuff is not here yet.

You should add a feature like this

Btw, this is in dutch. It says, press tab to search video's on youtube

I've thought about adding that before. It would be very difficult, but by no means impossible. I might give it a go in the next Alpha or the one after that.
