I recently installed Jaguar on two of my macs. It updated my IE to 5.2 and now I can't get the "ratings" preferences to show up. Has anyone else had this problem?

Just get this. (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/chimera/nightly/latest-trunk/Chimera.dmg.gz)

It'll cure all your browsing woes.

Amen to that! :D

I've barely been using it for a week and I don't know how I ever browsed without it. ;)

hehe i heard that. its just so frickin fast. ever since they pulled off the 1.0 tree its been getting faster and faster. Plus, i really prefer its looks to any browser, even omniweb. The folders in my toolbar are mad fast. For some reason OW never seems to be as fast with that.

i honestly wonder why anyone still uses IE. i trashed it the minute i was done installing 10.2 and have never looked back.

i've got reasons.

1. when i first used chimera, my hard drive started spinning and never stopped until i rebooted the machine

2. now when i try to open chimera, the navigator icon bounces twice and disappears

so until it works properly, i'll use IE. even though i hate MS, so much so i left the software industry.

fwiw, i'm running 10.2 on a 400 MHz g3 lombard pbook. navigator is v0.4.0

I have also trashed IE and it's been great. Anything that chimera can't do, mozilla can. Plus they're both way faster then IE.

Hey, I resemble that remark! ;)

Sorry, there's no way to do that yet in Chimera.

I just installed Chimera. So far it seems alot faster than IE and looks much cooler.

i have one problem.. when i went to a site with pop ups.. chimera asked me if i want to restrict pop ups from showing up.. i answered no..but now I want to go back and tell it to restrict the pop ups.

how can i go back and answer yes to this preference?

UPDATE: I LOVE THIS CHIMERA BROWSER! .. the tab feature is awesome! No more windows open all over the place.

thanks

you can't do it using the app, but there's a preference file you can change.

i forget the details, but read the docs you d/loaded w/ the chimera image. it's in there.
