Re: Web browser options for N800?
 
got a serious issue with the microb bug that reads the center dpad (i use it to bring up the thumb keyboard) as return, resulting in some problems. Not sure if its fixable by the community either, as i think the problem is in the closed UI (unless the UI is now opened and i have missed/forgotten), not the microb lib itself.

Minefield (Firefox),
Tear.

I myself keep coming back to microB,

There is also:
Midori
Arora
Dillo
Diggia@web

I've been using tear since it came out. Fast and stable.
The new opera is nice but no power mangment means it will drain the battery if left open, even when you lock the screen.

For me the best choice.

strange, it is not at all fast for me, on my n800. it takes many times longer than tear to load any pages.

Same here on my N810.

Tear gets my vote. With Mitrandir's improvements. link
The new Opera worth too a mention.

hopefully that improvements package will be rolled into tear directly soon.

Wow, finally! An N800 thread. THANK YOU! :) Yeah, personally, I bounce between Tear and MicroB on my N800. I guess Midori is supposed to be pretty good too but I never tried it.

Midori is pretty good. The functions (History, Bookmarks, etc.) are much easier to use. Although past 3 tabs it gets difficult to manage, and (it's no problem for me,) but there's no grab and drag page scrolling. You're relegated to the scroll bars.
