OmniGroup, the elder statesmen of MacOS development, have released a new beta of their web browser, OmniWeb. This is a 5.0 release, replacing the old rendering code with Apple's WebKit framework, as well as adding a bunch of new features. One notable new feature is general RSS awareness. HTML with a link to an RSS / RSD file will cause this little newspaper icon to show up.

Clicking on it gives you the option to subscribe to the feed. Subscribe, you say!? Why, yes.

Feeds show up as folders in the bookmarks menu. Cool. Is this the first web browser that combines an RSS reader (not counting third party plugins)? There is even a nice little dock icon that shows the number of unread icons. Cool. Can't wait to see the final product.
