Ari Jaaksi says: "The Mozilla-based browser sometimes seems slower than Opera, but it is actually processing all of the AJAX that Opera just throws away." (http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9264384554.html)

Is that AJAX claim true? In general Microdb is still much slower than Opera. I hope they don't drop support for Opera.

And that is annoying when you zoom in Microdb page view jumps to top of the page.

Yes, it processes AJAX, however I think it's still slightly on the slow side because it's still in beta. I wouldn't be surprised if they do drop Opera completely (which is the whole point of Microb - to replace it). Having an open source browser that's up to date is far better than having a browser from 2005 (Opera 8.5) that can't handle a lot of stuff that today's internet needs.

The clue is in the title of the thread. :)

Maybe it will become available for the 770 when (if) a new version of OS 2007HE is released.

There are a couple of threads in this forum discussing OS 2007HE (aka OS 2007 on 770).

I can confirm that this bug is fixed (at least for GMail).

The "backspace = history back" bug has returned in yesterday's microb update :[
