it is? if so then webkit is darn good at doing reflows of the page.

i finally got round to testing if the image option stops the download images. and yes it does.

but sadly, the alt-text is not showed, making it hard to locate image based links...

I've been using Tear almost exclusively for a couple of weeks now, here are some things I've noticed:

When I visit www.surfthechannel.com, I'm always prompted to save a few files. I remember it happening on a couple other sites as well, but I don't remember which ones.

Some flash videos have sound but no video, I'm assuming that's an issue more with sub-par flash support on the tablet in general.

Finally, some way to customize privacy settings as well as clear cookies/history/etc would be excellent.

It's so much faster for me than MicroB was that it's still worth using despite these shortcomings

This does not help if you want to config proxy by hand.

If you want tear to use the proxy settings from connection manager, you need to convert the following line to vala syntax and add it in a certain strategic place in the code:

if (ConIc.ProxyMode==NONE)
Environment.g_unsetenv("http_proxy");
else
Environment.g_setenv("http_proxy", "http://" + ConIc.get_proxy_host(HTTP) + ":" + ConIc.get_proxy_port(HTTP) + "/");
That won't help though, libwebkit doesn't respect the environment in which Tear resides. Maybe I'm not setting the environment properly but setting it with GLib doesn't help.

No, its the same, but without fpu and cpu optimizations I will post two different libwebkit and tear builds and qole should get only the n8x0 ones.

Probably the difference is not much but yours may be slightly faster

gotcha. I guess im just confused as to what the 2 different builds are for. Why make one that is slower?

Bundyo, Is there any way you can mark the 770 builds as different? Put a 770 in the version number somewhere?

how about changing the versioning all together as i believe you or someone else mentioned so that we know exactly what preview/version we have istead of just the .3
