I would use Tear a lot more, but it doesn't work well for Yahoo mail and a number of other sites.
My solution for the time being is to use the standard browser! I start with
www.skweezer.com
. It runs a bunch of sites without flash and without javascript. If I want javascript I can just not start with skweezer.com.
It works very well, in general. Skweezer.com also works well with Fennec, but so far I find Fennec unweildy.
In the longer run, I am starting to lose the desire for a pocketable tablet. I'm happy with my Kindle, which can be used as a browser in a pinch. And I still have a Palm Centro.
I had an interesting experience with my Centro lately -- I broke it!
So, with a year left on my contract, I had to decide what to do. I bought a used Centro for about $80. It works great! I can't tell it's not the same one I broke!
So, when I decide to get a new phone someday, I will first investigate the used phone market.
And a tablet, which I will carry separately. One thing that inspires me about the Kindle is that it has so many flaws! That sounds strange, but I get a heck of a lot of use out of it, but it can be improved in so many ways that bodes well for future versions of it or some similar tablet. Just better bookmarking and history would be a big step, and of course the inevitable color Kindle. And maybe a bigger Kindle!
