well I'm sure everyone will have a different opinion on this one..
It's my understanding that the difference with Chimera is that it's a
'cocoa' version of Mozilla's "gecko" engine ??
personally. .after having tried them all, I find Chimera to be the
fastest of any browser I have tried on my G4/450 MacOSX box..
Chimera does crap out on me every now and again. But considering it's a
0.6.0 version, and the speed alone makes up for the occasional crash
for me.
I switch between it and IE, but I have recently made Chimera my default
browser.
