I don't know why, but i have found Chimera 0.6 to be really unstable.

For a long time i have ran Chimera 0.5, and it would very very rarely crash on me. However, now that i have 0.6 all it does is crash on me, several times a day.

I cannot figure out what the problem is, but it may be just me. But its really unstable! I'm on OSX 10.2.2 (just updated) on a PowerBook G4 DVI.

If it keeps doing it to me, i'll have to downgrade to 0.5 (or try the nightly builds which may fix it), or just use Mozilla.

Anyone else been having stability problems with 0.6?

And yes, WHY IS it called Navigator instead of Chimera? Its strange. Even in About it says Navigator.

Yeah, since 0.5 I've had no end of problems with it. I don't know why- a friend of mine uses it almost exclusively and has no problems.. Just updated to 10.2.2 last night, on my old-school iMac DV. I used to use it about half the time, from 0.2-0.3 to 0.4. Now it barely handles one page before it crashes.

Problems
Authored by: stevec on Nov 12, '02 10:10:14AM

Hey, I like it too.

yeah I do miss the open window BEHIND menu that Omni has but recently Chimera refuses to download anything. It opens the download window and counts the seconds but never downloads a thing, DRAT!

I trashed the prefs files and reinstalled, still nothing.

Oh well I guess that's why it is release 0.6

I had this problem, when I went to pages serving shockwave flash. If you look at the news section of Chimera's site there is a link to the 6.0 beta shockwave flash plugin. Since I updated my plugin, I have not had a problem.

I found 0.6 to be less stable than various builds of 0.5 so I went and downloaded the latest nightly build (which I do regularly anyway...you automate this with ChimeraKnight) and found my stability issues greatly improved. Here's the link for those who need it:
