deanmass Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 It all my time on the web, which is substantial, I have never seen a browser this fast. Any of you MAC OS X peeps need to download this thing toot-sweet. The EQ mag page even loads up quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaeton Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Yeah, chimera's pretty cool. It's also one of the oldest surviving web browsers around. I think it's even older than lynx, which also rocks madly when you're on a machine with tight memory. iirc, i think both chimera and lynx predate the WWW. So there's your historical web browser to go with your historical OS :oP Isn't unix lovely? :D ==================================================== #include Dr. Seuss: The Original White Rapper .

Franknputer Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I've been digging Chimera for OS X myself - VERY nice browser! I was glad to see another update - as soon as I have some time, I'll be pulling it down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanmass Posted November 6, 2002 Author Share Posted November 6, 2002 I had the last version, but it was crashing...The new one has crashed a few times on me, but it is so fast, it hasn't bugged me too much...I went out to the term and saw that it was using 76% CPU on a Ti800 with 1gb ram, so prolly not one to multitask while doing edits... I love unix so far...Wish I had gotten into it earlier.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Darling Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 A link might be helpfull. [url=http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/chimera.html]Link[/url] I'll be happy to try this on out. Been using Netscape but not crazy about it with OSX - moved to IE, but don't like using microsoft stuff. Hope this thing will meet my standarts...

Alon Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I don't use OSX yet, but how does chimera compare to opera on X ? I'm asking because opera claims that their browser is the fastest in the world. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alon Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Actually, I just visited their site (opera), and I don't see them claiming this anymore, so nevermind my question. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherize Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I love this browser...it is faster for me than the the pc I used and that pc was on atleast a t1 connection...im on dsl using a dual gig G4 with 1.5 gigs of ram...it's only at .6 now but it is very stable for me....more so than anyother browser...Omniweb is a nice browser but not as fast although when Omniweb 5 is released it has the potential to be the fastest browser but that is still a few months off...IE I believe is also going through a rewrite now for OS X...it needs to in order to compete with the new browser competition on OS X... Speaking of OS X if you don't have Launchbar download it now!...it is pretty fabulous also....

harold_dup1 Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I just got Chimera last night. I love the tabs instead of having multiple windows open. Harold :thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. Ratte Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 It's fast, but in like 5 minutes of use I found out it doesn't work with the Blogger site's online tools. So back to IE, which does. G. Ratte' http://www.cultdeadcow.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaeton Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 For those that don't like IE but need something kind of `standard'- Try Mozilla (www.mozilla.org) True, it's kind of heavy, but it has a lot of great features that make life simple, like decent email services, cookie management, and the ability to block those durned javascript.open() popups. :D of course, on my athlon it's pretty damn quick. On my other machines without a GUI, Lynx it is. A beautiful jaunt in speed, simplicity and lack of frills. I won't suggest the HotJava browser that comes with Solaris, though. :oP =================================================== #include Dr. Seuss: The Original White Rapper . WWND?

Mr Darling Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 So far I found Chimera's navigator to work well on all the sites I visited and fast... but just now, visiting MP3.com it tells me - hi, we can block all those annoying POPUPS you hate so much. Ain't that great!! Rotshtein Danny - Studio Engineer Jingles show-reel Visit DarlingNikkie.com To discover the sounds of "Darling Nikkie"(aka Jade 4U). . . .
