Chimera 0.2 Available for Download

Posted by pudge on from the batman-now-you-face-a-true-chimera dept.

Aqua OS X writes "Chimera, the new Gecko-based Cocoa Mac OS X browser, has just reached version 0.2. It is available for download and it includes native Quartz rendering, new icons, expanded menus, and a spiffy new fading splash screen. Unfortunately, plugin support did not make the cut like it was supposed to. Check it out, this browser should be awesome once it is done."

    The Quartz rendering that you speak of was already completed for 0.2 and it is what provides the beautiful antialiased (smoothed) text that you see already in Chimera. So, don't worry the speed you see now will probably only improve! It actually appears to be *much* faster than the stiffest competition (OmniWeb) for me.

    Summary: have no fear, that Quartz rendering is already here =)
