"Fueling my hope?"
Believe me ...in regards to that concept ...
I have been around here long enough..
and I have no rebuttal for you at all on that.
I just threw out Chromium as a suggestion..running with a response from the last posted individual...
I could care less if it was Chromium ...
any browser that has the potential to be a better option than what we have existing is perfectly fine with me..
As far as your referencing a 3 year old post as an answer for viable options ...any option at all ...for a browser that will function in todays world ..on our n900's...
A 3 year old post ...
is just that.
a 3 year old post.
I don't know if the situation has changed in the last 3 years ..
has anyone with understanding concerning the issues ...actually revisited the topic of a more current browser alternative since?
Regardless of whether it was Chromium or anything else???
If they have by all means ..point me to the post that is a little more CURRENT than your 3 year old post on the issues and problems of that period of time and pertaining to more inspection than just Chromium as well....
You pointing at a 3 year old post and saying ..
"No one has posted on the topic since ...therefore.. there is no viable option ..No new browser option is available or viable or even has promise since this post ...because it doesn't work on Chromium ..." ...
tells me plenty.

Does anyone have the .deb for the Chromium build a few years back? It used to be on the repos before it was pulled for some reason.(not that that would even bring us up to date)
The link on the contrib's site is down and never responded to my emails.
We still need to compile a better browser but I assume it will be a mess of backporting libs and stuff, even then at this poing websites are so damn kludged the browser on any platform is up with games for CPU%.

Wow, just did some research, the Chromium build could have been from as early as 2010. Anyways back in Nokia days someone sent a C&D letter to Nokia to take it off of the repos (IMHO in error), but Nokia took it down anyways.
Like the title of the thread says, we need to backport a complete modern browser engine, even then website compatibility is tricker than ever before; worse modern websites make the client browser do most of the formatting work which is CPU and memory intensive. Far worse then 2009 or even 2012.

Why? Because it follows the Google philosophy of being technically open source while at the same time doing everything to lock people out of its code. [1]
