Chimera?

Postby Josh » Tue 24 Dec, 2002 2:32 am

I'm planning on maybe getting a Mac as a laptop in a year. I've heard stories on how NS6 and later/Mozilla has problems under the mac. In saying that, how good is Chimera?

Chimera is quite good as a Gecko based browser with an Mac OS X native
interface, so you can't download/install any Mozilla/Netscape themes to it.
So, as there's KMeleon for Windows, there is Chimera for Mac OS X.
There was an unofficial port of Phoenix to Mac OS X, which reflected
the 0.4 and 0.3 official milestones, but the person that built these
ported versions of Phoenix nolonger has the time to continue
the development of these unofficial Phoenix builds.

Running Netscape 7.x and/or Mozilla is fine, as long as the machine you're
getting has at least 128MB-256MB RAM for running them under Mac OS X,
and/or 64MB-128MB RAM for running them under "classic" Mac OS . . .

SeaMonkey = Swiss Army Knife: It's versatile, reliable, and contains useful tools.
Windows Internet Explorer = Old Swiss Cheese: Full of holes, and it stinks!
