Is there a way I can change the default download location to something other than the root folder?

one big new feature: if you select "Web" from the menu, the system browser will be started (starting browserd as well, if needed). As long as the system browser is open, all links will open in the system browser instead of Tear. As soon as you close the last system browser window, links should again open in Tear. (At this point, however, you'll have to kill the leftover browserd process if you don't want it running.)
I prefer having two icons in my personal menu, one which sets tear as default, one for microb, so that I can decide each time which browser I want to activate, and also keep both open. Memory doesn't seem to be much an issue for my use cases.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to pick which browser to use by default if MicroB is open. When MicroB is open, it receives all of the open-link messages from other applications and browser-proxy never sees the messages to relay to Tear.
If you install browser-proxy, it works like this:
- Click a link in some application with no browser open: browser-proxy receives the message and opens a Tear Dashboard window and then another Tear window with the link.
- Click a link in some application with only Tear open: browser-proxy receives the message and opens a new Tear window with the link.
- Open "Web" from the launcher: browser-proxy receives the message and starts browserd (if it's not already running) and then launches MicroB.
- Click a link in some application with only MicroB open: MicroB receives the message and opens the link. browser-proxy never sees the message because MicroB grabbed it.
- Click a link in some application with both MicroB and Tear open: MicroB receives the message and opens the link. browser-proxy never sees the message because MicroB grabbed it.
In a way, with browser-proxy installed it works sort of like you want: your default browser is whichever browser is running (when only one browser is running). With two caveats: First being that when no browser is running, the default is Tear.[1] The second being that when both browsers are running, the default is MicroB.[2]
[1] Of course you can change the default browser used when no browser is running by putting /usr/share/dbus-1/com.nokia.osso_browser.service back to its original state of "Exec=/usr/bin/browser".
[2] There is no way around using MicroB by default when both browsers are open without hacking some binaries, AFAIK.

Hmm by open web you mean open new browser window would open microb if tear and microb aren't running? For me with the latest script it only opens tear.

I would expect "Open new window" on the Home screen bookmarks list to work like the other bookmarks entries and like opening a link from another application: the message will be seen by browser-proxy (if MicroB is not running), and it will tell Tear to open the link.

Well, --disable-dbus-transformation seems to only affect auto capitalization of DBus.Object methods. It still capitalizes my methods on registration

I would rather prefer something not that hack-ish

I've just updated the browser-proxy script to 1.4. One little bugfix and one big new feature: if you select "Web" from the menu, the system browser will be started (starting browserd as well, if needed). As long as the system browser is open, all links will open in the system browser instead of Tear. As soon as you close the last system browser window, links should again open in Tear. (At this point, however, you'll have to kill the leftover browserd process if you don't want it running.)
