I agree it's nowhere near Microb as far as usability and speed. But I use Firefox on my laptop and I like the uniformity. I'm also loving weave. Even though Fennec has a long way to go, I still find myself using it over Microb.

agree good browser, however MicroB is faster and has flash enable. I was not able to enable flash on FF even after changing the recommended setting to false. Once FF has flash enable and is much faster, I might switch brower...the positive FF does render pages better that MicroB.

As far as weave goes, it should be easy to run Fennec, install Weave, and export the bookmarks for use by Microb.
I am amazed that you can stand the slowness of Fennec compared to the default browser.

Just upped the browser cache to 16mb. Testing. 4096 helped alot, but I re-disabled flash almost immediately. Worked great, just seemed way slower. Anyone having any luck making it snappier?

I have both flagged as false, but Flash vids still do not work. Strange.

Much better with 8mb cache. Playing with network pipelining settings and smiling more!
Flash is disabled, No Volume Key Zoom Control, No Spin Zoom Control, Takes Too Long To Load Compared To MicroB.
All of which I think are pretty important.
That Browser-Switchboard is cool though, I'm liking it.
