Sounds great. Hopefully it will work better as the chimera in 10.2 is very glitchy ie. really screwed up scrolling with a scrolling wheel, unexpedetly quiting, and site screw ups. I'll check it out.

I guess it's a little better, though scrolling is still a tad screwed up. It has oppuritunity.

I think that it is largely more stable. There is supposed to be some flash fixes. I don't have a scroll wheel, but my biggest complaint before was using multiple tabs.
After a certain number of tabs, it would get extremely slooow. This has been fixed. Tabs are now very speedy. Also, if you open more than a certain number of tabs, new tabs will be directed into new windows.
there is a couple of minor improvements, like the ability to move toolbar bookmarks and also the ability to drag shortcuts from a tab icon to the desktop.
Now that tabs work like a charm, Chimera is my main browser. One of the things that i like about Chimera is that it is a very fast and slim web browser that truly belongs in OSX.

Note that this isn't the official release of 0.5.0, but the latest nightly build.
That said, it is quite fast and stable so far.
I didn't have any problems with 0.4.x in Jaguar though.MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Core2Duo 3GB RAM, G4 1.4GHz OSX Tiger 1.25GB RAM, Dual 2GHz G5 OSX Tiger 2GB RAM (freakin shweet)
