Anecdotal evidence that Chimera is awesome!
Okay, I know we've already been over this before... Chimera is awesome, it's so fast, nothing compares to it, etc. I always sort of accepted this. But now I have an anecdote to prove it.
Today my connection dropped from the normal 1 megabit to about 90 kilobits. Normally I would immediately see a difference in browsing, with everything taking much longer. But because Chimera is so fast, I didn't even notice until I tried to download something (in which case, it took comparatively forever).
Apple SO has to use Chimera! They just need to streamline it, make the text boxes faster and better. That's it though.

Though downloading from a 56k modem is still kinda slow. But way better than IE.
It needs the Prefs/compliance/interface of IE to be a real browser, though I will admit I have switched to it simply because it is SO DAMN FAST! That is why I EVER switched to IE actually. Remember how slow Netscape 4 was? :eek:

ridiculously slow. strangely, many people still use it. i have no idea why. it causes problems among people programming css/new-fangled websites to be sure
