First of all, thank you very much for your reply and your indication of the link to the wiki. I am a bit sleep deprived and forgot to mention that I had seen that many browsers are way, way outdated (e.g., midori is only version 0.2 while the current version is 0.5 or newer).

Essentially, all the browsers that I saw available either had abandoned development (Opera, Fennec for N900), could be installed due to unsatisfied dependencies (dooble), were too ancient (midori), didn't start (hydrogenbrowser) or, when, I tried to load Gmail, would simply be in an infinite redirect loop (I don't recall which one, but I can recheck).

I would just love a simple, barebones browser that had some modern javascript, which were mostly maintained (well, I can try to help with maintenance---but this would exclude closed-source browsers like Opera) and which allowed me have the same experience as Macuco2's.

BTW, thanks again for the pointers and, also, for the hint on Alopex.
