This part seems buggy.

If you don't have your left sidebar (with tabs etc) open, it will say 'new tab opened'. If you then 'click' on the message 'new tab opened' you will go to the new tab. Then, page is shown. This behavior is similar to shift+ctrl+left_click_on_hyperlink in Mozilla Firefox for desktop. However, seems not to go to top of the new page. The page is opened in the middle. It does not always show the new page either. I had it not working one time thus far (out of 10 different tries).

If you go to new tab and you press enter in the URL, then |> ('play' or 'go') or press refresh it will reload and show. Of these 2 methods refresh is the fastest method because requires less user interaction, but its not necessarily most logic interaction. Judging from the preview of the new tab in the left sidebar it is loaded but it doesn't show up when you go to the tab. This stuff is probably to save memory. After all, there is functionality akin to shift+ctrl+left_click_on_hyperlink.

Also selecting/copying text seems impossible.

[...]

Also a clever way to enter true full screen mode is required.

Funny how both these features are hacked into MicroB

After a bit of use, I can say that this is a VERY promising browser. Hopefully, the final version will fix things like proper YouTube playback (plugin works, but does not play video video well) and it hangs a lot for me (does not crash though.)

Looking forward to the final release. THANKS GUYS!

I am happy to say that portrait mode works great. Upgraded weave to 1.0b1 and it is still giving me issues (never finishes syncing).

Is there a home button for the browser?

Pliz for those who already tested it on n810, are the mozilla plugins working on it like they do on n900?

Ok my only complaint is a big one on n900 it doesn't install to /opt so it uses about 30mb when installed. I removed it even though I like it better then microb. If they fix the /opt problem it will be great. I would assume I could move the files my self and link to them but not sure.

They want to "optify" it until the final release:

I hope they can do it further.

looks like they had trouble with /opt and it I hope they can fix it it really does no good if it uses all the extra space on root partition
