Just a small update on my experience: I rebooted last night and that seems to have gotten rid of all the troubles I was having previously: digg now loads, adblock plus loads and shows the icon, and everything seems to be working great! I did another test of loading gmail, which is probably the most accurate test I did and got a time of 54 seconds. So, there is defiantly a speed improvement.

Wow.

Now there is no delay while typing in Gmail.

Thanks.

EDIT: Did anybody notice that internettablettalk.com's home page loads fine now?

Wow! I didn't even think to check that. You're right though, it used to be unusable... now the slowdown is not that bad.

Google docs also works much better now, though spreadsheet cells are dominated by a scroll bar. The iphone version of facebook as well. Google reader is the most noticeable change for me, what a great improvement. I'll try the iPhone version of google apps tomorrow and report.

The spell check engine underlined misspelled words fine, but I couldn't get it to suggest/change the spelling. When I double taped the word, my browser crashed. Other than that, I'm really impressed.

I’ve also noticed that on AJAX heavy sites, the cpu usage no longer spikes for me. It isn’t exactly quantitative, but I can defiantly see a difference.

Ok, so Adblock AND Flashblock indeed work with this build, BUT not at once.

After installing the SVN, I uninstalled both apps, rebooted, installed one at a time and rebooted once again in between installs.

From what I've seen, ABP does not initialize at the start all the time. I bookmarked the config "chrome://adblockplus/content/config.html" and it seems if I open that and refresh the subscription, it kicks in the ABP.

Ads get blocked, but it seems at the expense of smoother scrolling.

If you want to use FB, just disable ABP or don't install it at all. You will also need to restart the browser TWICE. It will obviously block some of the ads that are flash based (some on this site). And, scrolling speed is not sacrificed.

I use the greasemonkey plugin most of the time.
Any experience on greasemonkey working with
this svn build?

Thanks in advance for any experience!

I suggest you don't use adblock anyways. Adblock is intensive on the NITs. The better way to block ads is via the hosts file + usercss.

Actually, I just tried disabling the icon for adblock and that seems to result in fast/smooth scrolling.

Yesterday I reflashed my N810 and the first thing I did was to upgrade the browser.

Now, I am trying to install other applications and find this problem: I cannot install python2.5-gpsbt without removing microb-eal, ooso-browser, osso-software-version, tablet-browser-controls, tablet-browser-default-plugin and tablet-browser-ui first.

How should I do the python2.5-gpsbt? How do I reinstall those other apps? Simply by executing 'apt-get install microb-eal', etc.?

Thanks in advance.

What's the complete apt output, it'll help pin down the culprit. At initial guess, it sounds like a bug in python2.5-gpsbt in that it's over-specific and over-wide in its list of dependencies.
