Rendezvous

Rendezvous is a technology promoted by Apple that aims to eliminate the need to configure network devices. Chimera supports Rendezvous to allow you to see HTTP and FTP servers on your local network, which may be provided by machines running Mac OS X or other operating systems, or devices such as printers or web-cams that have embedded servers.

Chimera requires Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later to be able to show Rendezvous devices, and the feature is currently off by default, since it is still somewhat experimental. To enable it, edit your user.js file, adding the line: 

user_pref("chimera.enable_rendezvous", true);

When you restart Chimera, you should see a “Local Network Services” item on the Go menu, with a submenu that lists local servers. If you enabled FTP access on your machine, you should see that in the list; others may show up, depending on what servers and devices are available on your local network.
