+ featured extensions are working fine.
+ AdblockPlus works without complaint and is configurable in the same way as it does in the desktop version
+ youtube works fine

- Initial start takes more than 10 seconds - that's the most annoying thing for me
- If AdblockPlus is activated it takes some extra seconds
- scrolling stumbles if site is not rendered completely
- On screen keyboard does not work correctly - this was better in older releases, as Milhouse already wrote

I think the line there is IF its rendered completely. Just a couple of test I did on pages I often go to. All tests done over wifi.

Slashdot.org

MicroB: 15 seconds to render entire page
Fennec; 40 seconds

Engadget.com

MicroB: 18 seconds
Fennec: 2+ minutes - I gave up.

Add to that the fact that I can scroll the loaded content as it loads on Micro B and you have a far better experience with it over fennec.

Also I havent had any issues with adblock on MicroB. Perhaps just lucky.
