I know there is also harmattan port of this. Is it worked on or abandoned ?

Re: [Announce] - Helium Mobile Browser for N900
Sorry, I don't know about harmattan port. This is only for Maemo5.

Ooh, going to try it out right away.
How fast is it compared to MicroB? |
Re: [Announce] - Helium Mobile Browser for N900
I'll do some speed comparison later, but for me more important is better HTML5 support (websockets). Anyway it feels fast.

Re: [Announce] - Helium Mobile Browser for N900

Re: [Announce] - Helium Mobile Browser for N900
It's there. Direct link confirms that:
You should see it in HAM or FAM after update. |
Re: [Announce] - Helium Mobile Browser for N900
Unfortunately the project is abandoned for nearly an year, and helium browser is hardly usable in its current state :( . Not that it does not have potential, but still.

Re: [Announce] - Helium Mobile Browser for N900
I've used sources from their github. I think that helium has potential. What exactly are you missing? Probably we can do something about it. It currently has good support of HTML5, which I will require later for my webapp project. I've also tried your port of QtMWeb browser, but considered it less stable than Helium. So Helium is currently better option.
