You can enable HTTP/1.1 pipelining in chimera by adding the following lines to your ~/Library -> Application Support -> Chimera -> profiles -> default -> [random].slt -> prefs.js file:
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);Pipelining speeds up browsing a lot.

Speedier indeed!
Yes, the speed increase is actually quite remarkable when visiting for example heavy newspaper portals and such. Nice!
What does it do?
It would be nice to know.
What does it do?
To answer to myself:
What does it do?
This probably turns on support for HTTP keepalive, ie using the same socket connection for all the requests rather than opening separate sockets for each request. See HTTP 1.1 RFC :
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cs/Services/rfc/rfc-text/rfc2068.txt section 8.1 booger....
Why not on by default?
Wow. it is a lot faster. Why isn't it on by default? Is there some problem caused by it which might make them choose not to turn it on? I couldn't see anything in the FAQ...
Why not on by default?
If in fact this does turn on HTTP KeepAlive, this would drastically increase the number of active threads handled by the web server at a given point, this is one reason for not using this as a default setting. This increases the workload handled by the server as the client sessions are changed from a stateless connection to a persistent connection, requiring the server to keep open threads instead of re-using them. In a nutshell, it reduces connection time as a session can re-use the same thread instead of opening a new one, but it causes a larger performance hit to web servers handling the sessions.
KeepAlive different from Pipelining
No, KeepAlive is what you actually meant. KeepAlive is an option (can be turned off both on the browser side and on the server side) in which the client and server can reuse the open connection. This does have somewhat impact on the server, since the connection (and hence thread/process) remains open (in case the client did not close it correctly) for a certain amount of time before it times out. My webserver had about 10% processing hit when ALL clients were using KeepAlive. That's not that much, considering you do less process forking and handle all requests much faster.
Great tip!
This really made a huge speed difference on my iBook 600/640/20 running 10.2.2! Thanks for the great tip! Just another reason to love Chimera...can't remember the last time I launched IE for anything.
Thanks a TON!!
WOW, this really works very well. I think it has done more than just speed up browsing. Over all my browser seems faster. I agree with the other people on how great this browser is. I have not used IE in a very long time, and with this speed bump I don't think I will be using IE anytime soon.
Pref.js or user.js
Hi
Pref.js or user.js
Has anyone gotten user.js to WORK?
Pref.js or user.js
For me anyway, the user.js file seems to be ignored, though some on the web say otherwise. From what I understand, if you write 'user_pref' in the prefs.js file, Chimera will leave it alone. That's the only way I can make pref file changes happen...
Pref.js or user.js
From my experience:
Pref.js or user.js
Oh! Well, if that's the case, then yeah, pretty pointless...
Pref.js or user.js
Okay, well I think I found something!
Pref.js or user.js
Call me a newbie, but while prefs.js is right in front of me, I can't find any file named user.js at all. It just isn't there. Can anyone explain?
Pref.js or user.js
just create a new plain text file in TextEdit, paste the lines in, and save in the same directory as your Prefs.js file with the name "User.js". worked great for me. when you open and close the prefs pane in Navigator the User.js settings get copied into the Prefs.js file.
i love it
i love chimera and i love this tip!
Wonderful!
It seems accelerate the browsing.... Thanks for the great tip!
https
I seem to remember problems with pipelining in Mozilla in accessing secure sites (https) which was eventually fixed. I wonder if this fix has been encorporated into chimer/navigator. If it isn't maybe that is why there is no "check box" to easily enable it in the preferences. I havn't really tried it yet on secure sites so I don't know if this is the case or not.

I just tried payapl. It seems ok.. Paypal uses secutiy http....
Nice... but still blank pages
Reading all those positive comments about Chimera let me feel quite frustrated... I tried to use Chimera as my primary browser but couldn't. Some pages won't load, displaying instead a blank page, like :
Indeed
Interesting, indeed. I loaded the first 2 links OK, but bosch.dk failed for me. In that case, it seems to be the fault of the creator, using CSS2 styles in ways that are specific to IE browsers, which is wrong. I admit that doesn't help you much. You could try to complain to the site owner.
Sweet!
Like the title states: SWEET! Great speed improvement on my Pismo laptop. |
