First Impressions
Authored by: barryjaylevine on Nov 12, '02 11:42:39AM

I'm using v0.6 (and 10.2.2). The speed with which it draws its pages is about 50-75% faster than IE. It has crashed once in the last week but IE locks up far more often. There are some sites (like banking) for which IE is still required and also some sites (like University of Phoenix's student area) where some elements aren't displayed. I do not fault Chimera for this as the HTML is of the Microsoft-proprietary variety. Obviously some programmers at UoPhx looking for job security (or too stupid to know that you do webpages based on real standards).

Oh, almost forgot! The smoothing of the fonts in Chimera is -way- superior to IE. I'd like to see some add'l prefs to give me tabbing to just text fields instead of to every link on the page (that's Windoze crapola).

Bottom line: I'm very impressed and, in fact, using it to write this post.
