An anonymous reader writes "MozillaZine is reporting that version 0.6 of Chimera, the Mozilla-based browser for Mac OS X, has been released, packed full of fun new stuff for MacBeards to play with. The Chimera homepage has a lovely shiney globe on it and lets you download the new release." etdebruin writes "Head on over to mactopia to find the 10.1.2 Office X update from Microsoft released today."

    The install notes indicate that you will have to upgrade to Flash 6 Beta.

    best of all, there is now an option to turn off JavaScript's Pop-up feature - Wehew!

  3. Try the nightly builds... by ZxCv · · Score: 3, Informative

    There's a great program called ChimeraKnight that will backup your current Chimera, download the current nightly build and unpack and install it for you, all automagically. I run it every couple days or so, and while I used to have the same speed and stability complaints about Chimera, it only gets better day after day. In fact, I've had it crash only once in the past week. And its speed (startup, navigation) is noticeably better these days over Mozilla, especially on my iBook 600/640. Up until a little over a week ago, I was using Mozilla instead of Chimera, but the way things are going for Chimera now, I doubt I'll ever go back to Mozilla.
