It takes a little hacking and installation of libstdc++6.0, but it works as well as opera's browser. You need to run it from within xterm, and I took antonio's few lines of cli input and made a little shell script called runminimo to make it easier to launch. Pages like Google Reader work great, whereas opera won't properly load the ajax app for me. it does have a fullscreen mode, but there is currently no way to get back out of fullscreen. if someone figures this out the browser would be nearly end user ready. The way it is now, if I use fullscreen mode I then have to hit the home button, go back into xterm, open a new tab and run ps to get the id so i can kill the app. If I don't launch fullscreen mode, when I close minimo xterm closes the app but returns "Segmentation Fault". there are some other minor issues but if someone who knows what they were doing I suspect this could easily replace the default opera browser. it is just as fast, smooth, and easy to use. And besides handling pages opera won't render correctly, TABBED BROWSING ON THE 770!!!
