Chimera vs. Safari

Now that I have had some time to play with Safari AND since I have been using Chimera for some time now, I have a better understanding of what browser I prefer. My choice is Chimera for now. Here are some quick reasons:

1) Tabbed browsing is such a great innovation and saves me time and confussion.
2) Speed isn't that much different from Chimera to Safari, in fact I can't tell the difference for the most part (DSL 1.5MBps).
3) Better bookmark manager with Chimera, Safari has many more problems with it's bookmark manager. Remember their both beta's!
4) Compatibilty as far as I can tell is better with Chimera or at least the sites I visit.

So make your vote, Chimera or Safari.

Also, I would hope that you've actually used both browsers before you would vote!

Give me tabs in Safari, and I'll start singing Beach Boy songs.....until then, Chimera is my choice.

I'm sure that Apple will swith out of betta, but for now Safari is capable of all my needs. but I can't attach files on yahoo mail, so thats why I keep Chimera!

Chimera is more comfortable; like a worn-in slipper. Chimera for me.
