While that browser sure has a very promising future ahead of itself, should it ever be further developed, it's still an quite alpha build, more like a demonstration of its capabilities than an actual finished program; it's still very rough around the edges... microB can open, say, 20 wikipedia articles with ease, and QtMWeb, while very much capable of handling multiple tabs, will take quite a performance hit with about 4 tabs open, to the point where it has trouble switching tabs or interacting with the current tab.

QtMWeb still needs development time, or a development team; as its author mentioned, it's no one man job.

I'd guess our best bet would be to modify a current browser for mouse operations; chromium seemed like a good choice.

( Still... Should you want to try QtMWeb out, go ahead, and bump that thread, by the way... If enough users should interest, maybe a few devs should get interested in that project.

It's quite a good browser, even in its current state... It supports portrait mode, open tabs in the background, as it should, but has a lot of missing features, and crashes occasionaly. )

Back on topic... C'mon, maemo.org... Let's try to get a mouse working on our browsers, it already does so everywhere else...!

Ps.: Heck, I'm gonna e-mail the mozilla devs and see if they can help modifying mozilla's mouse behaviour back to the desktop standard.
