In Fremantle forward, if you say that the browser is crap, then someone will tell you to go fix it yourself. And if someone wants a feature, they can just submit a patch (like qwerty12 did for Tear just now).
And if Nokia doesn't like the patch, someone will just fork the project...
A whole new world...
Does someone still remember all the Fun Pidgin had? Though that at least pushed the original developers to change their views

I think that microb browser, after an update a month ago, became a little faster. i' m not sure, it may be my impression.

That was fixed, but I need to update Tear with libwebkit to release it.

I know this is a ridiculous request, but, wow, do I ever wish this Firefox add-on called TidyRead could be implemented in tear! It "intelligently extracts the core text of news articles and blog posts" and makes reading them super-easy. It has built-in font/background buttons and it re-flows the text. It accomplishes "Fit Width to View" like in MicroB but much, much better for reading text. I bet it would be much faster, too, since the page rendering doesn't have to deal with images or anything else other than text.

EDIT: I created a TidyRead bookmarklet in Firefox. Then I copied its Properties and pasted it into a bookmark for tear. But it does nothing. I did the same thing with Google Chrome -- creating a "handmade" bookmark by pasting in the properties -- and on Chrome it *did* work. Maybe tear can't do bookmarklets? (I did have tear's Java enabled, so it's not that.)
I tried the same thing with Readability's bookmarklet, and the same thing happened: tear's progress bar keeps cycling but nothing changes on the webpage it shows.

You want Google Mobilizer
Cutting and pasting a url for either is less convenient than I imagine a bookmarklet would be.
But I've bookmarked Google Mobilizer!
EDIT: I just discovered TidyRead also has a place for pasting a url --
http://www.tidyread.com/widget.html
-- and I prefer TidyRead's rendering to the others.
