I would suggest to try some hack in MicroB to update the engine maintaining the UI or replace the closed source UI with an OSS reimplementation

Porting a Qt web browser like:

QtWeb
Arora (Seems to be unmaintained)
Reckonq (KDE dependencies could be a problem)

Is also a viable (though painful) path.
Once i've tried QtWeb, it compiles and runs OK on n900, but by this time there was too much of windows legacy there. Maybe I should give it a try once again.
