The maintainer of Nemo package for Helium says a new release for fremantle would make sense. Any takers?
Marmistrz, maybe you could clarify if the work by rburchell listed on their github is included in the current fremantle build?
Thanks, Ben

Hey. I just made diff of "veskuh / HeliumReborn" for Nemo and sources that I have. They are same. So answer to your question is: Helium for Maemo5 is build from same sources as Nemo version.

But trust nobody and compare them yourself.
Grab tarball from here:
http://maemo.org/packages/source/vie...browser/2.0-1/

Well the last changes to the Nemo version listed in Github are from rburchell, not veskuh:
https://github.com/nemomobile/heliumreborn
You used this package: https://github.com/veskuh/HeliumReborn ?
I don't know if it's the same as packages listed on the latter site.
Please forgive me for not comparing the source myself as you suggest. I don't know how to go about reading code and it'd just be useless to try :(

My bad. I though you're programmer. I've also compared rburchell repo.
This is how it can be done:
Code:

$ git clone https://github.com/nemomobile/heliumreborn
$ wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/source/h/heliummobilebrowser/heliummobilebrowser_2.0-1.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf heliummobilebrowser_2.0-1.tar.gz
$ diff -qr heliumreborn/src/ heliummobilebrowser-2.0/src/

In this case diff - the compare program didn't found any significant diferrence.
It means the rburchell Nemo repo is pretty much same code as we have for Maemo5.

It seems that not a lot of work has been done on Helium for half a year or so - apparently it's not much of a priority to Nemo developers.
...switching my attention back to the current tinkering in progress @Fennec, 2 promising new builds are coming up :)
Will keep an eye on Helium though, who knows if maybe the Nemo devs will present new builds as soon as tomorrow!

fennec isn't webkit, and mobile sites on non-webkit suck... try iphone user agent on microb.

It's actually rare that I prefer to view the mobile version of a site on N900 over the desktop version.
To me, most mobile sites suck in any browser! :p

It's good browser, but why sometimes it's not responding at once for scrolling? Is there any chance to implement tab switcher?

there is a lot to do around Nemo, and not a lot of people working on it. i don't think anyone will deny that having a good web browser would be nice.

if you want to start sending patches, feel free. by no means should you wait for someone else to do the work for you - you might be waiting a long while ;)

I have geared my mind for the prospect of having to wait for a long time. However, that still might turn out a shorter wait than the one for the day I learn to code - and then learn it well enough to contribute to this project. When that day comes, however, I'll get cracking on this first thing! :D
