Update to newest Mozilla
The newest Mozilla is now faster than Chimera. It there a way to have the nice interface of Chimera, with the speed of Mozilla (probably even faster).

Mozilla faster? Yes and no
Today I extensively tested the new Mozilla release 1.3.a and I indeed came to the conclusion that Mozilla renders complex web pages as fast or even faster than Chimera (latest nightly, Saturday 14.12). This testing occured on G4/500/osx. But Mozilla on the Mac still has a super slow start up. This will probably be like that forever because Mozilla is designed to be a cross-platform browser and offers 400% more features than Chimera.
But who needs them anyway on a Mac running OSX and using Mail.app....
Mozilla is a heavy-weight. But once it runs nobody can stop it. It most probably has the most advanced and the fastest render engine out there.
see you

I use mozilla on occasion. Usually for the DOM inspector, and yes it does render fast. But that is not the reason I use Chimera on a regular basis. It is more about the native UI for me. And Chimera is specifically targeted at browsing, it doesn't have all the bloat of mozilla. Much like Phoenix for Windows and Linux.
