I don't know where that came from but as it happens, yes, I am typing this reply on a 1 GB device. And guess what? The browser does indeed work fine. It starts instantly, not in 3 seconds. Also, no reloading when you switch between tabs; select&copy work fine, as does search in the page; no disco lights when loading a page with more than two images; the pages load in an instant; the battery lasts about a week... No, that device is not my Jolla. It is my daughter's one year old Lenovo tablet, running Android 4.1.

I use a Jolla as my main device. I have my own reasons to prefer it over other systems but I do it in a full knowledge and acceptance of its shortcomings and I do not succumb to the illusion of its grandeur. Sailfish is far from grand. It is a slow, inefficient resource hog. It is at least 5 years behind the curve and too conceited to admit it and learn from the competition to even try to catch up. In a word, it is too little too late. I like it and use it not because I think it is the "best", whatever that might mean, but despite knowing very well that it isn't.

Sorry about that little rant. It is well past 1am and I am tired. But I had to somehow vent my frustration when I see so much denial as I have seen in the past couple of pages in this and this thread. Good night.
