my question is opera has a way to change the zoom level so when we single click on the text it zooms to that levels.
but with Microb when you double click on a text it zooms to like 200 percent i think, it covers the entire screen and you cant see anything except those 4 to 5 lines.
is there a way to change that zoom level
thanks
in microb, zoom to your preferred level and then press ctrl-shift-i and it will reflow to fit the current zoom level screen size.

Just wondering why nobody mentions Macuco here. I prefer it to all other browsers for several reasons. First, it's webkit-based and because of that it renders pages a lot faster then the others. Second, I can't understand why people seem to prefer full-blown desktop pages instead of the much faster mobile ones? Just because you can? I hate to be forced to horizontally scroll on pages, that drives me crazy... when I sit in the train I want to browse as many pages as I'm used too (cause my time is limited) and thus have no time to wait for uncomfortable full-blown pages to finally render after one minute or even more...
I have tested microb (slow loading, tears when scrolling, doesn't seem to be actively developed any more by Nokia), opera (mobile view sucks and it hasn't been updated for 10 months=security??) and fennec (painfully slow start, memory-hungry, but at least seems to render slightly faster than microb). This is a mobile device with limited resources and screen size, so I prefer to spend them carefully. So Macuco plus custom hosts file (for adblocking) is the best and fastest option at least for me and the developer even seems to care for user wishes. Plus because of it's lightweightness for me it's the only browser allowing surfing and listening to online radio via mediaplayer at once, without any stuttering.
Just my 2 cents...

Are using Fennec 4.0 now when it has gotten more stable. It is as fast as MicroB to render pages but got better functionallity. Don't like Operas zoom and overall behaviour that much. But it uses less resources i think.

MicroB + camkeyd (for multitasking) + greasemonkey (to resize screen width) hands down beats ANY web browser on ANY mobile phone be it Android/iOS/WP7 or even Maemo5 imho. (Can also add gelocation add-on for gps integration and tweak flash version for some extra capability)
I hate browsing "mobile" version of websites and do not like "reflow" of texts. I just want to see and browse websites just the way I see it on my desktop pc. So MicroB just cannot be beaten imo.
Greasemonkey is a must for some websites where it fits itself into 800pixels width and becomes weird looking. (TMO, whirpool.net.au etc) I make it extend to 1100pixels or so wide. Much better.
