Saw it on MacUpdate. Adds HTTP Tunneling to Chimera. Initial speed improvements are quite noticable. Check it out!

HTTP Tunelling? Never heard of that..
I already have a hack that adds support for HTTP Pipelining.

Makes browsing fast fast fast. Essentially allows for multiple requests to be sent to a server at once rather than one at a time.

Did i get that right? Correct me if not

It's HTTP Pipelining, not tunneling.

This was disucssed in one of the Chimera threads earlier this week.

Please excuse my ignorance, but could someone explain how to install ChimeraBooster?
1.Where is my home directory that the folder neads to be copied to?
2.Refresh my memory about entering the script into the terminal (which is a bit scary!)
I am using version 0.6 and find it a refreshing change from IE. I think a useful addition would be to have it remember details like e mail address and postcode etc to speed up entering these details.

Thanks in advance

open up the finder window, in the toolbar you'll see the 'home' icon. click on that, then copy the 'ChimeraBooster' folder in there.

just copy "./ChimeraBooster/nitro.sh" (without quotes) and once you've loaded the terminal, simply past that in. hit return and you'll be away.

hope this helped.

you can also just drag the nitro.sh to a terminal window and hit enter.

Haven't you noticed? Chronic cynicism takes no skills, little energy, no education, and if you do it really well in poorly-lit coffee-houses, it gets you laid.
