On the same subject as the image blocking hint that was just recently posted, quite a while ago I opened an enhancement request for Chimera to support image blocking (bug report here).
It seems to have stalled a bit, but luckily a very industrious fellow named Prachi Gauriar created a preference panel for Chimera that allows you to add and subtract servers to block, as well as toggle GIF animations and block 3rd party image requests completely. I've been using it for over a month with the nightly builds and it's worked great!
Here's how to install the preference pane for Chimera:
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.images,Insert this line between these two lines:
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.privacy,NOTE: Make sure each line ends with a comma. When done, the file should look like this:
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.security,
(Save the file.
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.navigation,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.appearance,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.privacy,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.images,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.security,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.webfeatures
)
(Save the file.
{
identifier = general;
panes = (
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.navigation,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.appearance,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.images,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.webfeatures
);
},
{
identifier = security;
panes = (
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.privacy,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.security,
);
}
)
