I fully agree about raising good bugs. It is a tremendous accomplishment to build a browser that works as well as the Micob. However I am sure you will agree that any serious discussion must be based on facts and it is a fact that Opera works sometimes better on the N800. As mentioned before Opera lacks AJAX and that (probably) makes working in het Google environment slow and sometimes simply not possible. Here, MicroB is much nicer. It is also a fact that Google docs does not work with Opera and does with Microb - but still too slow.

I noted from your http://www.bleb.org that you are a very strong Mozilla / Firefox advocate. That is all very nice, but should not cover up serious comments. For the record: I am not a Microoft advocate: on the contrary.

Regards, Abel.

If you're not happy installing beta software, don't. If you are, accept the implicit contract that by making this software available for use prior to release (and potentially suffering "negative" press), it's your responsibility to raise good bugs in Bugzilla.

Installing it, not raising bugs and just moaning on forums makes it less likely for Nokia to announce plans of future releases of IT OS (rather than Maemo), release more beta software and many of the other things many of us are advocating they do to be more open.
