The best solution I suspect will be to somehow get the latest Debian QT 4.x version (with all the Debian local patches) working completly on Maemo Fremantle (which will require identifying all the maemo-local QT patches and forward porting them and also fixing anything that needs fixing due to the newer QT needing newer versions of libraries than Maemo Fremantle has. Then we need to find an existing QT4.x/webkit/whatever-based browser with the needed features that can run on Maemo and port it over (mostly there may need to be features like whatever it is that brings up the phone dialer when you click phone numbers in a web page).

I dont have the time right now to contribute to the effort but I would love a better browser on the N900 that can run TLS 1.2 web sites and all the other things that just wont run on the N900's ancient engine because they use more modern HTML/CSS/JS/etc features.
