I use arora whenever I vnc into the N800. Gives you a 'real' browser, with regular tabs, bookmarks, download manager.
get it here, it's the only stable version:

O RLY?
I gave a link to last version of arora available for Diablo.
Anyway, arora is terribly slow...

I installed your version but couldn't get a gui.
arora isn't slow, webkit=fast, but it is not adapted to the tablet, zoom increments in 10% etc.
For vnc it's the best because all the shortcut keys work, you don't need zoom, you don't need finger sized tabs etc.
There are a few bugs but it is not being maintained afaik.

I installed it a few minutes ago. Works nice. But gui (Qt!) is very slow (html5 videos works fine). Checked it and removed it.

Microb on my N900. (Firefox to slowly Opera will be better)

Best Feature of microb is the favorite-sites link to the desktop of N900.

On my Desktop PC and my Notebook I use Firefox !

I'm a bit surprised at the poll results so far.
I understand that a lot of people go between two browsers and that sometimes it's hard to say which one i 'the main one'.
Tear
But that <7% of people have Tear as their main browser is rather surprising to me considering how often it is mentioned (maybe with the possibility of the 'Tear Improvements' rolling into the official release things might change - and with an updated 'less blue' speed dial screen ). I mean, even FF Fennec beat it...and really? Fennec?

microB
Wasn't surprising that this browser would 'win' as it's the one people gets exposed to first, changing can be seen as too cumbersome, etc - and it really is a good, fast browser (hey, it's MY main browser) - but that 69% of people would have it as their main was maybe higher than I expected to see.

Opera
16% of people 'already' using Opera as their main browser. Wow, that's about the the amount of Tear users. I will assume that at least a part of that is due to the new shininess of it and that some people may go back to their old standby ones the novelty has worn off. But then again, it's a very slick looking browser so who knows - maybe it will instead continue to grow in popularity.

Apart from that it was surprising to see that there wasn't more diversity in what main browsers people are using.

Thanks for taking the poll!

Well, Tear on N900 is not a pretty sight

With Tear, scrolling is simple.
Try the space bar in microb it is the equivalent of page down. BTW I use tear (N810 user) for everything except flash intensive sites. Haven't tried opera yet. I'm a big fan of keyboard shortcuts in my webbrowser, but it takes for ever to figur out what they are.

I'm running Firefox Fennec, I also tried out Opera and Chrome but since it doesn't sync with my desktop computer + laptop it's pretty useless(plus it doesn't support add-ons). BTW, Minefield is only for desktop computers, right?
