I can’t use it all the time and since Chimera is not exactly terrible, I’ll use it. They’ll both get better, so where’s the harm?
Where Safari fails me is in posting to my weblog, something I do regularly enough to expect reliability. For whatever reason, the javascript magic doesn’t happen.
Of course, the lack of tabbed browsing is a nuisance as well.
Chimera … [will] get better, so where’s the harm?
Actually, I read a day or two ago that John Kilburg will stop updating Chimera, rather than compete with Apple for users. I can’t figure out where I read it, though, and Google isn’t helping.
It’s fun making a product that more than seven people use. I wish that was 7 million, but I guess we have to set our expectations appropriately. Chimera’s not going anywhere, regardless of whatever I post on this blog. Will this get picked up on MacSlash? Unlikely. I guess the damage has already been done.
John Kilburg seems to be the guy behind Chimera, based on browsing that started here: http://www.physics.unlv.edu/~john/. I assume that he was the person in the interview I had read.
(Why can’t one do a full-text search of recently-browsed sites? That would be cool. No way for me even to fake it now, since I wiped my browser cache last night, but it would be a great feature.)
I’ve often pondered why the browser cache has never been properly leveraged for stuff like user tracking. This is another good idea, I think.
