Chimera rocks
Authored by: seven5 on Nov 12, '02 01:44:49AM

i've been using chimera as my fulltime browser since .4
The newest build is just marvelous. Its still slack on features, but i'll tell you what... I haven't had a popup in about 5 months, and thats the truth. And i don't have to run some other application to do it. That in it self is worth it. I am also addicted to tab browsing, its great, i mainly use it on my ibook, but its the greatest.

I NEVER use IE anymore, and can't stand it. The only thing i use it for is for my online Bank, and I think it will be like that for a long while, i'm sure it would work just fine, but they seem to think it won't.

I'd like to see the option of putting in my own info for the browser detection, like Konqueror does in KDE.

If you haven't tried it yet, its fast, stable, low in memory, low in cpu, and looks just great. Go get and trash your old browser....

Chimera rocks

It\'s definitely faster to load and faster to run that Mozilla - I\'ve been using Mozilla for a month or two now, so IE is a distant memory. Whenever I use someone else\'s computer, I freak out when I get a pop-up. They\'re a faded bad memory :o).

The popup disabler in Chimera is a little too absolute... at least compared to Mozilla. Specifically, they way some sites do their go-to menus, they simply don\'t work because Chimera kills the JS call. Some sites are even obnoxious enough to not have a regular go button next to said menu, so I have to look at the source code and figure out the links myself. ::sigh::

I\'ve only used it for about 20 minutes, but I\'m happy. Now I just have to proselytize a little :o).

http://uabar.mozdev.org/ allows you to change the useragent. I havent tried this with chimera yet, but works with mozilla.
