Tablet experience gets poor if there is no good web browser (an essential thing).
It's awful. STOP USING IT. There's no excuse now not to use WebPirate as it's in the Jolla Store, rather than just OpenRepos. It still suffers all the performance issues that native Sailfish apps have, but its features, compatibility, UI & lack of bugs are on a different planet compared to Sailfish Browser. These are the efforts of a one man band, over what, 7 months? Compared with Jolla's 3 years of development of SF Browser. It's shameful. Firefox / Opera in Alien Dalvik are still much faster, but for such a small project, Web Pirate is a great piece of work and IMO the best software currently available for Sailfish.

It's got to the stage where the stock browser is so bad and so behind, I'd like to see Jolla abandon it entirely and pay a stipend for the maintenance of WebPirate / WebCat or split search revenue, shipping an update with a prompt to install one or both.
