What happens to MicroB when MeeGo arrives
 
Has there been any word on what happens to MicroB when Meego arrives?
I like firefox but it doesn't compare with MicroB. With a few tweaks to the UI and use of tabs, MicroB doesn't have any browsing competitors.

The answer: nothing

It will still be on your N900's Maemo 5.

I hope you know that MicroB is based on the same engine :)

Nokia will tweak Fennec for MeeGo devices and in theory would be much much better than MicroB

MicroB is outdated compared to Firefox Mobile, it starts faster because it is kept resident by the OS, but that's all. On the other hand it has bugs that are not fixed for ages. I guess Nokia doesn't want to spend resources maintaining fork when upstream is working better.
Just forget it and use Firefox.

MicroB rapes firefox on maemo period, it doesnt just launch faster, the whole browsing experience is generally snappier and more responsive, hope i never see FF on any os

Opera rapes all of them.

N900 overclocked to 900mhz and microb is still the best mobile browser i have tried. I would love to have it on my Galaxy S running hummingbird CPU.
That said it's hard to say much about this as we simply don't know how will the browser perform on N9 or whatever. Microb is not perfect by no means as flash 10.1 is not there and improvements to the UI like going fullscreen can be much improved imo.
FF will be on MeeGo but do we know if Nokia will be using it? Especially on MeeGo-Harmattan?

I guess it can be added in plugins, but I have come to depend on MicroB's cursor mode for a site like yahoo for example.
