9.0-a1 is still not as fast as MicroB and unfortunately has got a high cpu usage.

It has improved a lot, but I wouldn't want to use it every day.

Opera only needs ~2 seconds to start up and is responsive right after the window appears. If Fennec would be that fast, it would be the perfect mobile web browser...

I agree UI can be improved further but javascript and html5 performance is amazing, getting 313 (9 bonus points) on html5test and sunspider 0.9.1 test score of 3644 ms - which is even better than galaxy s2. Plus ability to save web pages as pdf (for offline viewing) is an added bonus.

run the sunspider test for yourself and compare the performance against other leading phones/OS

Argh, I'm having a noob moment.

Which one do I download here for the N900?

Is it the .deb or the tarball?

Take a guess which one are the installer and which one is the source. :rolleyes:

For 10 points I'm going to answer:

.DEB

*round of applause*

Haha, cheers my Swedish friend. You jogged my memory, I knew it was in there somwhere lol.

The #1 thing I can't stand about the fennec UI is the fact that it blocks out the standard Hildon status bar/menu. I already like having all the status info that it gives, plus I run my own monitor clock plugin for Advanced Clock Plugin, which gives me a bunch of other status info. It bugs me when Maemo 5 programs don't give you the option to use the built in status-bar.

If it wasn't for that, and the lack of the swirl-to-zoom gesture, I'd be willing to convert, methinks.

and cursor mode. Btw fennec 9 has a problem with textareas. Slow, and unscrollable.

Re: Updated MicroB
 

What I wonder is if it could be possible to replace at least some of the parts of osso-browser-ui to, for example, get a decent portrait support (back button), or tab navigation.

Re: Updated MicroB
 

Not without source code.

Re: Updated MicroB
 

Any news on updating MicroB? I see ongoing discussions on IRC about this topic...
