Tear, a lightweight web browser using WebKit. It might fullfill your needs. Its reported to be faster than MicroB.
If you really require speed something like Links2, Elinks, Dillo, W3m or Lynx might cut it.

Tear/webkit seems interesting. Though, judging by the version number, I suspect I may say 'I crash Tear' long before I have it installed. :B
Much like Fennec.
How could I search and yet miss Midori?

Ooh, thanks for the link to Tear
Epiphany (both the Gecko version and the Webkit version) under Easy Debian works extremely well for me. In fact, I would say it works faster than MicroB even in the chroot, so it could be quite impressive if it replaced MicroB entirely. Not sure what they did with that thing, but it is extremely heavy for a web browser that claims to be lightweight :/

webkit bothers me, as it depends on a hefty lib...

A main reason for trying out another browser is to see if that's just how the N810 handles stress, or if another browser would act/degrade differently when trying to surf multithreaded on limited memory...
I'm an demanding Opera desktop user. I don't sit around and wait for the one browser window to load, I am used to 20+ tabs on my page bars. 5 windows is a bare minimum of what I need. And that's when I'm reading a book in parallell... :B
Where is that N900 already?

I have to agree, with all Maemo resources at Nokia invested into Freemantle, I find it hard to believe that anything but the most severe bugs will be addressed in Diablo apps.

Isn't Midori floating around somewhere?
My question is, are there really no alternatives to MicroB?
The answers seems to be: I crave that unconditional 'Yes' that obviously I'm not going to get. :P But still, I'm going to ask.
Are there really no other alternatives? No ports? No adjusted version of the old Opera browser? No payware?
I crash MicroB.
Sorry if you feel this is posted in the wrong subforum, but obviously there IS another alternative to MicroB if you're using an older version of the OS :B
