content column
Clicking on the browser icon in the upper left corner, the user can click on the built-in content column of Omni. Click in and you will find that there are three types of content: daily news, application recommendations, and popular science articles.
Regarding daily news, after clicking on the article, you will jump to the Substack page, which summarizes the major news that happens in the encryption world every day.
About app recommendations, its a bunch of app recommendation articles built into Omni. It recommends and introduces some mainstream applications in the encryption world, such as the ten most popular NFT tools, the ten most popular DeFi protocols, etc. Users can click the links in the articles to jump to the browser page.

Summarize
In general, Omni is an easy-to-use wallet that aggregates multiple chains and multiple protocols. Compared with most traditional wallets, it supports legal currency deposits and has a built-in content column, which is very friendly to novice users. At the same time, it supports more than 10,000 tokens and most mainstream DeFi protocols. Its built-in Earn section also supports users to earn income very conveniently, so it is also more suitable for users with certain investment needs.
But there are still some problems with the Omni wallet. Unlike Metamask, Omni doesnt have a built-in browser. When the user clicks on the built-in news and application links, it will jump to the browser page. At this time, if the user needs to operate in the wallet, the user needs to manually switch to the wallet, which has some experience friction for the user.
On the other hand, Omni has a higher gas cost. Since the Omni wallet follows EIP-1559, although this can help users save more gas during the gas surge of the Ethereum mainnet, it will make Omni users pay more unnecessary gas during periods when the Ethereum network is not congested. Therefore, Omni is not suitable for users with high-frequency trading needs.
