Best Browser for OSX...
Pissed_Macman:
I've heard good things about Chimera. What is its specialty though? Why did the makers of Mozilla decide to make a different browser?
MacUser3of5:
Chimera is more scaled back/lightweight than mozilla... just compare download sizes...
Also, the Chimera group, since they're OS X-only, is paying extra attention to getting it work nicely with X (much better than Mozilla at the moment, UI-wise). All around, I prefer it, although I would rather use Omniweb, but that's too damn slow on my dialup connection.
Calum:
icab is one to steer clear of. Not tried it in OSX, but in MacOS9 it kept crashing for me and it also seems to me to try for MSIE compliance rather than proper standards compliance.
One day i hope i can try chimera too, but it requires a lot of expensive hardware and software that i can't afford!
TheGreatPoo:
Well, now that my girlfriend's computer is taken care of (Chimera), what do you guys suggest as a fast browser for Mac Classic?
Mozilla is HUGE and really slow on my performa but I love it's features! I've tried iCab but it is too buggy and it makes pages look funny (rendering?). Any ideas? I'm thinkin about loadin in my OS 9.1 CD and installing Netscape Navigator 4.x <--(can't remember the exact version). That browser is blindingly fast on the Mac but kinna like iCab, it renders pages funny, i guess because it's old. :confused:
psyjax:
Netscape 4.x is good for old comp's.
But as I recall there was an old browser that was fast and lightwieght... I can't remember it. It reminded me of Arachne.
hmmm... webcrawler or something.
Oh well,
Anyway, Macman, Chimera is programmed in CoCo. Which means it is optamized for OSX and the G4, Which means it is the fastest freakin browser you will ever use in your life. It is also more compatible than mozilla, much smaller, and renders pages better.
Also, since it dosn't dpend on all that bulky Java, the UI is quicker and better looking.
