OK, that was pretty nifty (Chimera and Keychain)

So, I never realized how nice the keychain would be, but it is really really nice. Chimeria is the only browser, I see, that really took advantage of this.



I was already to type in my password and then it says if I want Chimera to have access to my keychain.

'Course I say yes, and it saved me time



do any other browsers do this? <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" /> <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" /> <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

    That's one thing I really like about Chimera compared to other browsers.

    Yes, Chimera functions under the name "Navigator.app"

    I don't know of any other browsers that take advantage of this, but I like that Chimera does.

    iCab does as well, and I think OmniWeb. However, I've never got Chimera's Keychain feature to work with secure websites. It just keeps duplicating my entry in the keychain, and never pulling it up when requested.

    Because there already exists a browser called "Chimera", for X11.

    so why's it called Chimera at all instead of just Navigator?

    OmniWeb uses the keychain for any passwords it can. It doesn't work for .Mac and services that prompt you in the web page itself, but for sites that require a password pop-up dialog (a sheet in OmniWeb), it will prompt you the first time with a checkbox to remember this in the keychain. Next time you access the site, it doesn't even prompt you for the password again, it just retrieves it from the keychain and moves you transparently to the secured page.

    Because Mozillians love to have project names that are related to Greek mythology.
