There are a number of areas where Tear fails;
- The select-to-copy process is very jumpy/unreliable,
- You can't install a deb that requires a new repo (you can do this fine with browserd)
- Wacthing any video links
- When entering a post in tmo and something 'happens' like gpodder finishing looking for new episodes, etc - Tear often freezes, gives a white page and you have to kill the process (no such issues with browserd)
- dpad scrolling is a pain
- I still have no idea how to return in my homepage when in full-screen mode. in browserd 'homepage' is part of the bookmark options

There are other issues as well but since I now only use Tear when I know I will do nothing but pure browsing I can't remember all of them.
