Its freaking fast, bit buggy like has troubles with copy/paste thats not from finder mena but in shortcuts, cant enter text in text fields when loging into forums and I cant get 2 button support so no tabs yet.

I like it though, as I use mozzilla.

This thing is amazing. Don't you love cocoa.

Also I read on their newgroup that they found a bug in it and the next build they make should be 33% faster! This thing kills in speed.

One thing that is annoying is that you can't type in a textfield in a webpage yet... but that should be fixed.

The scrolling algorithms need some work- but elsewise I am extremely impressed.

for a VERY early Alpha build. Rendering of web pages works (mostly), but drop down menus, text fields etc. don't work yet.

Speed is very impressive, esp. for an Alpha, and esp. since the developer said the next build will be 33% faster. Wow.

Scrolling is terrible right now, but from the info. gathered from the mailing list, they haven't implemented all the Cocoa widgets yet, so that probably has a lot to do with it.

One pet peeve that I'm not sure if it will be addressed... It uses the same button widgets (like Submit, Reset, etc.) that Mozilla uses, which look butt ugly. The thing I love about OmniWeb is these widgets are fully aquafied and gorgeous. I hope they can fix this at some point.

All in all, a great start!

The webpages widgets are suppose to go aqua once they hook them up. Also the scrollbars use XUL for rendering right now, they will use cocoa soon.

This could very well be the killer browser.

See, not only is he 'notmad' but he's actually excited!

I downloaded Chimera, and can see the glint of something very powerful.

It is by no means ready so if you're a newbie to OS X expecting an IE killer this afternoon it won't be in the form of Chimera.

In two months though...

*twyg walks away, and as soon as he turns the corner you hear someone screaming 'YEAH! GO Chimera, GO Chimera. No more IE for me!'*
