You start the internet browser like normal. You'll have an additional menu entry called "Hidden" or sth like that where you can switch browser engines and tabbed browsing behaviour.

I own an N800 but guess there is no difference in that. But did not see the tabbed browsing set anywhere :confused:

Re: Micro-B for 770
 
so far the experience have been hit and miss...

it seems to take a long time starting the mozilla engine vs the opera engine, and is also very memory hungry!

i also suspect it to be more crash prone. it seems to die at random times on pages i have had no issues with using the opera engine.

but the most annoying part is that it totally fails to auto-activate the wlan connection. it instead keeps tossing a error message that makes it impossible to close the window and that does not tell you whats wrong.

oh, just recalled. sometimes i have also seen it fail scrolling using tap&drag (or whatever its called), instead defaulting to marking text. and no, its not a accidental double tap. i hear only a single click, and when it first happens i can lift, press, drag and still get the same effect.

I don't see an additional menu entry. I see only the error posted in a previous message.

The browser's working pretty good, but I still can't get flash to show up under "plugins" after installing the tar and creating the symlink. Under about:config, it does say flashhack=true (although about:config seems to be read only on microb). I'm still excited about the possibilities of microb!:D

Can I ask for simplified instructions for what's going on here? I see the earlier download, Milhouse's "download"... but I'm a bit stuck. Creating the symlink is about the only thing that makes sense to me.

Oh... and feel free to treat me like a n00b.

I echo that if you mean getting flash to work. Actually, even creating the symlink is a bit of a mystery to me...

If anyone has got flash to work then waddya think?

Don.

Does this work on the OS 2007 on 770?

Please consider that viewing a website in the olden days was like viewing a document.

Viewing a website nowadays is more like running a program in an interpreter. Well it *IS* usually running a program, that the *web designers wrote*. If a site crashes your browser, it could well be due to bad website *programming*.

Digg for example is a horrible browser-raper.
