I updated my iBook to Mac OS X 10.2.3 using the stand-alone installer. Everything works ok. In addition, I downloaded and started to use the new build of Chimera 0.6, which was promised to be more stable than the previous ones. So far I haven't had any trouble browsing or otherwise using the browser. Chimera seems to be at the moment the best browser for Mac OS X, despite some small interface quirks.
