Midori Status n900?
 

Been in extras-testing for a while. Anyone actualy using it? Good, bad, flash, compared to microB, other? TIA.

Re: Midori Status n900?
 

tried it two weeks ago.
have to say that microb is still the number one browser on the n900. ;)

If you want WebKit goodness, you could try Tear. I believe it's in Extras-devel for Fremantle. So you'd presumably have to add or enable that repository, install Tear, and probably disable it after installation. Not sure how stable it is. But it has a lot of fans in the N8x0 world.

Tear is not ready for prime time on N900 yet.

But I wouldn't discount using it altogether. It's certainly used by me (and the experience rather enjoyed, on the whole) when I'm feeling tired and I really can't deal with MicroB and its slow rendering of pages. Oh, and when I need to get to the bottom of a long page without killing off my wrists (WTG, HildonPannableArea designers :rolleyes:).

Only problems I have are:

• Sometimes crashes and wont start up again - rm -rf ~/.tear works a treat;
• In pages with frames, when you scroll down using the scrollbar, the right click menu pops up;
• New windows use the same HildonWindowStack which is good for pop-ups, but not for much else...

I tried both Tear and Midori now.
Both of them suffer from a single problem:
If I move the rendered page with kinetic scrolling, it appears to be laggy and it is blurring. It only clears up when scrolling is ended.

I think MicroB is quite good, and Fennec is even better if you don't mind its startup time. (The nightly is even better.)

Re: Midori Status n900?
 

Midori has never even launched with me.

I install it, try to run it and nothing. I'm waiting for an "official" release ;V

Should try Tear though

We've got an excellent browser, the community needs to focus it's energy developing something we need.

Re: Midori Status n900?
 

Yes, that's why I use Netscape Navigator, Outlook Express and RealPlayer on my Windows 98 Pentium 2 computer. It was good enough then, so it's good enough now.

All silliness aside, choice is good. Without it, there is no progress, and we can't assume MicroB will serve all our needs into the foreseeable future. It will start to falter, whether it's security or feature-wise; it think the signs of fatigue are already starting to show, and Nokia certainly isn't going to maintain it forever.
