Re: Fennec 4 beta 3
 
for now this browser has little added value apart from it stil being developed and updated.

This could become something great:

-with an option to copy the MicroB user interface (no tabs)

-as soon as plugins like noscript & adblock folow as wel as other classics.

Ive read NoScript needs different programming approach to become compatible so it could take a while.

I think having tabs is one of the better features of this browser. Instead of having to keep opening windows and go out to the multitasking menu, you can do it all within one window (quite easily I might add.)
I can't disagree with having more options, but I think this is solidly one of the better features that Fennec offers.

I've used Firefox as my default browser since the release of v1.0. To me the Firefox UI with tabs is the best thing about it. MicroB's UI was driving me crazy. I'd hate to see the default Firefox UI changed, but a plugin or option to modify it to suit would be ok. Choice is good.

Is newest fennec faster on loading and scrolling pages than opera?

Ahm....

Browser should only show webpages as they are written. If they look bad on mobile device then person to blame is the people in web-page-devel department. IMO browser should never ever do choices for user on how to show webpage to them (maybe behind options and disabled by default). I want _The Internet_ not some tweaked version that might be usable and pretty but ends up beign huge disservice towards web page developers so that they might end up beign even more lazy and eventually make pages that brake on other browser that strictly go by standards.

I'm not sure what you meant this. Fennec has support for copying text:
* Click some text on webpage
-> there are not any visual mark
* Hold shift and use left/right to mark text
-> Text will get selected
* Press ctrl+c
-> no visual feedback, but text is then on clipboard

I'm not saying this is intuitive or good way, but there are way.

Thanks, you're right, this is better than nothing. A mousepointer would still be better, but good to know that there's atleast one possibility to mark and copy text.

There is a print dialogue, but I think it's a piece from desktop Firefox, its interface isn't optimised for mobile.
Ctrl+P usually doesn't open this dialogue, so try clicking "Print" link on a web-page, for instance.
