SpeedChimera enhances Chimera by allowing you to accelerate navigation (using HTTP pipelining) and enable/modify many other hidden preferences in Chimera. Unlike some other tools, SpeedChimera applies your modifications such that they stay, and continually keeps the preferences updated, regardless of whether or not you download new versions of Chimera.

For advanced users, SpeedChimera also offers you the option of seeing the current preferences and tweaking certain defaults, editing current preferences, or adding new user preferences.

Here are some key features of "SpeedChimera":
Enhance speed with HTTP pipelining
Disable blinking text
Block certain images
Turn off auto-complete
Enable the marquee tag
Show history in the side bar
Restrict minimum font size
Modify tab focusing
Configure image animation
Act as another browser to servers.

Requirements:
Chimera 0.6 or later.
