No one but me has a *decent* point of view on browsers. Microb is fine. You can get a very recent version of Firefox if you are a *decently* skilled computer user. But all decent users know that the PhoneMe version of Opera is one of the best.

As Scorpius said, that's the price of progress. While the "full desktop experience" (including Flash) is (was) one of the main high points of the device web developers nowadays don't really consider performance on a 600MHz Cortex A8 with 256MB RAM when they design their websites, they are more concerned with how much data they can pump through our boadband/3G/4G pipes for a "rich" web experience.

The main culprits are extensive use of complex JS and large amounts of images (stored uncompressed in RAM) ensuring that our poor little mini-computers will start swapping vigorously when opening one too many tabs (where "too many" >= 1).

Case in point, just now Engadget needed more than 30s to load on MicroB, while with Lynx it didn't even take 3s.

But who needs pictures anyways? Use your imagination, kid! Why when I was a young lad "setting up a highres desktop image" consisted of placing stacks of punch cards on our desks and that how we liked it! (...)

Seriously though, it can get rather frustrating, up to the point where I actually load up mobile versions (heresy, I know..) or even RSS feeds of websites..

No script and adblock work wonders!

Hi again,
The problem with MicroB is the time it takes to load the first page after you start it. Sometimes it takes forever. Sometimes it just hangs at the loading animation and I have to kill it and open it again for it to work.
Another thing is that it is so outdated that it has many old security issues that were fixed in Firefox ages ago so one could pretty easily own your phone if he wants to.

@peterbjornx I'm pretty interested in your solution. Any ideas on how to build the desktop version of Firefox for maemo?

I actually disabled adblock since in my experience it took about 40 seconds to start downloadind a web site. Without adblock, it takes around 2 seconds.

I insist and excuse me:

IS YOUR MICROB SLOW? DISABLE ADBLOCK AND TRY AGAIN

I hate ads but I really hate slowness. I prefer the website to be downloaded in a few seconds full of ads than waiting almost one minute for a clean website.

Microb is fine for me. No flash? it's a phone. Buy a netbook or something. I just use the browser from time to time, for a couple of news sites.

I think people is forgetting what phones are for, what netbooks are for, what laptops are for, and what desktops are for, and think everything can be replaced in a phone. Every gadget has its use, you have to have them all, not just a phone!
