Here it is: adobe-flashplayer-10.deb

Edit: same file as above zipped before uploading.

Unfortunately, I get the following error:

/media/mmc1/Files/Temp # dpkg -i adobe-flashplayer-10.deb
dpkg-deb: `adobe-flashplayer-10.deb' is not a debian format archive
dpkg: error processing adobe-flashplayer-10.deb (--install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
adobe-flashplayer-10.deb

PS: Same thing after I copied the file to /home/user/Downloads and made it executable.

Re: Recommended browser for N900?
 

The file worked for me following these steps. I downloaded the file from mediafire and compared the file size with my working one. Both are 3,536,878 bytes.

Amen.

Except I don't think I've ever used Chromium. Ever. On a phone OR a desktop. Ever.

On my N900, I have tried: MicroB, Fennec, Midori, Opera and Alopex. The only one I use or even have installed after having tried them all is MicroB. It satisfies 100% of my browsing needs.

since we're in such topic, is there a way to close microb's launcher after entering url? since everytine i type from the launcher it launches a new window. Thanks :)

Re: Recommended browser for N900?
 

If there is a way to do that, it would be great. Also, when I close that window (launcher one with a list of bookmarks) sometimes the newest opened browser window's url bar at the bottom breaks... It either becomes empty (text disappears) or the indeterminate loading progress indicator appears forever (the narrow rectangle below the url which bounces from left to right over and over again), even after page load, and never stops. Does anyone else face this behavior?

BTW,xes build a thumb version of midori 0.4.0 here,yet not many ppl noticed or used it.
MicroB is still the best one for now.

Re: Recommended browser for N900?
 

I've used Fennec, microb, Opera and Chrome under Easy Debian. Fennec was really slow. microb, as other posters have noticed, is good, but mine inserted what looked like settings into the typed URL history, and later on completely deleted all typed URL history, without me doing anything. Also, it's difficult to use with gmail. Opera has a neat interface (I use Opera 11, because Opera 12 crashes randomly for me too, pity) and I use it as a default browser until microb's WYSIWYG-ness is needed (but still don't trust it 100% after the typed URL history debacle).

Re: Recommended browser for N900?
 

+ Opera 11. I pinned it for apt so I wouldn't get the annoying update to Opera 12 that doesn't work.

I tend not to use Microb unless I really need flash or Opera isn't rendering a page well. I find microb a bit slow and the UI not as clean as Opera.

Re: Recommended browser for N900?
 

I'm using Opera, mostly, & Microb occasionally.
I would probably use Microb more if "Open link in new window" opened the window in the background. Still, Opera's reflowing of text when zooming is probably the winning feature.
