Last Chimera is marvellous ! +question

toast

Gone !
Hi to all !

I know this is a bit old news for many... but for those who have not downloaded the last nightly build of Chimera, and who are still using the officially stable version 0.6, I have to tell you: download it NOW !

- New icons are just 300 times more elegant.
- Some new tricks in the menus and prefs.
- Faster browsing ! Faster scrolling ! Faster menus !

Plus, I have a question: can someone tell me how to block ad banners using Chimera ? Thanx !

Wow...
 
i dont care for the icons .. as i keep them as small as i can. the speed? faster comapred to which version? i "still" have the 3 / 12 build; if i change again the build, maybe the block images go away and needs to be redone. :-/ last time it did.
ok i try...
 
Build ID: 2002121004

New icons compared to v0.6 official stable version.
Faster than this same v.06 official vers.

:D :D :D

So Giaguara, you know how to make those banners go away ? tell us :) please.
 
oh yes, wait a second, i am downloading the buld now.. getting the code for blocking, one second only ;))

besides.. i dont use the STABILE versions..
 
Either use it as here.. :

(But it maybe does not stay with changing the builds) or;


Download the preference pane:
http://comp.uark.edu/~pgauria/ImagesPrefPane.tar.gz (Mirror)

Unpack the file so that you have a file called Images.prefPane

Make sure Chimera isn't running. Right-click on the Navigator icon and "Show Package Contents"

Navigate to Contents -> PreferencesPanes

Copy the file Images.prefPane into this folder.

Still in the Navigator package, navigate up one level and go into the Resources folder.

You will need to edit two files. First open MVPreferencePaneDefaults.plist in your favorite text editor. Add the line

org.mozilla.chimera.preference.images,

Insert this line between these two lines:

org.mozilla.chimera.preference.privacy,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.security,

NOTE: Make sure each line ends with a comma. When done, the file should look like this:

(
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.navigation,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.appearance,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.privacy,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.images,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.security,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.webfeatures
)

Save the file.

Now, open the file MVPreferencePaneGroups.plist which is in the same folder as the last file. Add the same line as you did before, but this time add it between org.mozilla.chimera.preference.appearance and org.mozilla.chimera.preference.webfeatures. The file should look like this when you're done:

(
{
identifier = general;
panes = (
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.navigation,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.appearance,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.images,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.webfeatures
);
},
{
identifier = security;
panes = (
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.privacy,
org.mozilla.chimera.preference.security,
);
}
)

Save the file.

Launch Chimera, open the preferences, and you should see the newly added Images prefpane.
 
the icons aer the same that they were before. at least on the builds for the last month or so.

if you get the new build, you have to fix that image pref every time again!!!

:(
 
Just had my first crash using the latest nightly build... Tried to click on a link, and BOOM... no more Navigator.

Oh, well. It's still better than anything else.
 
The icons are different from the last STABLE version, that's my point.

Thanx for the image blocking trick !
How do I know the servers I have to block ?

For example I saw in the source of this page the ad banner was on digitalcrowd.com. I blocked it, but the picture still shows up: is it normal ?
 
hey, DISABLE CACHE.

Then, if it would crash, before restarting it, TRASH the CACHE folder ( user / libraries / app.support /chimera / ... / .. / cache folder ) - that helps.

Chiemra still crashes less than IE. :p

Look where is the image. block the image server.
For a comparison, i have servers like these blocked; you decide what suit for you;
(not a complete list, just some examples, cant copy paste it)

kermit.macnn.com
m.doubleclick.net
m2.doubleclick.net
a.tribalfusion.com
ad.kataweb.it
admedia.kataweb.it
ads.fortunecity.com
ads.valoreweb.it
adserver.adtech.de
www.qksrv.net

look for the image location in the page, and take the beginning, paste it to the blocked images servers. one example;
http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/N1395.tribalfusion/B45822;sz=468x60;ord=647752126?
just take ad.doubleclick.net (that was a casual banner from somewhere else than here);
you need an other script to block the flash banners though.



there is also an otehr script to
