This is really good news, thanks to the OP ! I almost missed this thread, thinking the title was a question :-)

I guess this is what the Internet Tablet's browser should have been from the start. It doesn't seem any slower on startup than regular Opera - but the I didn't download and symlink the flash player, the absence of which I consider a feature. Afterwards it feels faster - especially when going BACK one page, like in minimo. And of course it groks Google Calendar, Maps and other AJAX-heavy sites, which is the whole point of an Internet Tablet...

Naturally it still has some rough edges, here are some I came across :

- is it only me, or the virtual keyboard doesn't work in tabbed mode ?
- bookmarks are shared with Opera, but logins, cookies and certificates are not (PITA :-)*
- "view" setting in "Hidden" menu is not sticky
- tends to shutting down the entire browser when asked to close one window, even more than Opera... also, it seems that closing a Tab does it every time...
- will sometimes take a long time or seem to freeze when loading a site for the first time (happened to me on ITT), but not afterwards...

Some questions in case anyone knows :

- in the App manager I have another package available named "microb-refui", what is that ?...

- is there any way to change the hardware key's behaviour like in Opera (up/down, short/long) ?

- about:config seems to work, but which parameter changes the default font size ?

Anyway, thanks to the Maemo team for taking the time to make MicroB available for OS2006, and thanks to Qim Gil for making good on his promises. This will tide us over until the new OS2007HE comes out :-)
