You also have the install file for flashblocker here: http://browser-extras.garage.maemo.o...ds_os2008.html and yes, it's a good addon for me as well.

One of the things I like least about MicroB (Diablo at least) is that hitting the DPad jumps to the next field in a form & you have to hold the DPad to scroll. I strongly dislike this b/c filling out forms is rare but scrolling is very common. If I accidentally hit the DPad when I meant to scroll, the web page will frequently jerk. With Tear, scrolling is simple.

Midori works with flash very well and the best to compare to any other. But itself is not stable at all. So I couldn't call it main. But has potential.

I'm a bit torn here - I tend to switch between firefox and microb a fair bit - depending on what I'm doing... Microb is noticably faster and lower memory --- but I like the fact in firefox that I can open a new page without immediately switching to it, by holding down ctrl. I haven't figured out how to do the same in microb, and that's a killer feature for me when scanning news pages or blogs...

My normal approach on my desktop is to read a page, and open new tabs for any links that seem interesting, and then go through them one by one --- that's easy in firefox, but hard in microb.

If firefox didn't slow my n900 down so much by sucking up all the memory, I'd probably stop using microb at all.

microb without a doubt. It is very powerful, loads content perfectly, configurable, stable and fast.

Just to clarify: It may not be the most stable, fastest, configurable etc..but it is the best overall. For example fennec is more configurable, and tear is more fast..but microb performs better in other factors making it best overall.
