(since you asked FWIW).
I started using the
dillo
browser with tabs this weekend. This is faster than anything else I've seen. Not having javascript/flash/css is sometimes nice, and definitely speeds things up when you just want info quickly. Yet there's a lot of sites that you just can't view at all. The same goes for the
netsurf
browser.
Also using
emacs-w3m
and
chromium
. (Chromium is fast/full-featured, but still very buggy on armel.)
Other than that, I still use
firefox, microb
and
epiphany
. By "firefox" I mean the full firefox, not the mobile version (fennec). I tried fennec, but that was very frustrating.
Microb is still the most finger friendly, and firefox is the slowest, but most full featured. Google maps seems to work best in microb too.
Very difficult to run microb without hildon-desktop, and I don't like running hildon-desktop, so I generally don't use microb, though I wish I could use it more.
Honestly, I'm not happy with the current state of internet browsers in general, be it on maemo, windows, mac, sun, etc... It's ridiculous to have so many browsers. Personally I blame corporate web developers that build stupid features into their websites especially checking browser id strings and activeX stuff.
