[OT]
backspace as well as shift-backspace works well for me. In full screen mode and with button bar the same.
In a text field backspace just deletes and shift-backspace also.

In fact, you're both right here. In MicroB, fullscreen, shift+backspace does nothing (opens address bar in my case, but it may be related to custom hardware keyboard settings). Unless, when you're writing something inside text field, where it act as "back".
Hoever, in MicroB outside fullscreen, it indeed act as "forward".
Which is complete nonsense, as outside of fullscreen, you already have UI buttons, so forward could be just there, this or other way. Where it is needed most (fullscreen), it doesn't work, as you've noticed. Not to mention that damn shift+backspace in text field = back, which is just... cruel.

While following the stock browser UI (that i like but i think it could be better), i hope there will be a place to customize things that should follow the users preferences like is possible in most of the existing browsers: a toolbar with customizable buttons and submenu to aggregate functions to free some space.on the screen.
Then, while in full screen mode, the back button could have the same behavior of the full screen trasparent switch.
However, in version 0.5.3 the QML files are shipped with the application (installed to /opt/qml-browser/qml), so you are free to change anything you want there.

Now the "add bookmark" button is lost and in portrait mode the toolbar is useless.

I have a strange issue that happens sometimes when a page tries to open a link into a new page: the page remains empty and the status seems to have already completed the page load.

Switching tasks, the qml-browser has no preview, just a trasparent window.

Two small suggestions related to fine-tuning zoom:
1. Adding possibility to do it via volume buttons just like in microB (obviously).
2. When using swirl to zoom gesture, everything seems to be re-drawed constantly(?). In more resource-heavy pages, it makes zooming this way *extremely* laggy/delayed.
If I'm not mistaken, microB just quasi-resizes the already shown content in real time when you zoom - allowing you to calibrate how big/small you want things to be - then redraw only, after swirl gesture is ended. This way, it works much more efficiently.
BTW, the same apply to zooming with volume keys, when that become a thing.
---
...and one general suggestion:
3. The description in repositories still says that qml-browser is a qml showcase, rather than something useful for daily usage. I think it should be changed now, considering how many people discover things by browsing repos, instead of TMO.
Cheers,

QWebView (which inherits QWidget) probably follows the same behaviour. I will take a look at the QWebView code and see if there is a way to reduce the frequency of the re-painting.

Does it support text wrapping (like Opera mobile)?

QMLBrowser works like a charm using mouse pointer on vncserver or tv-out and bluetooth mouse!
Thanks, I can uninstall Opera now

As for forward button, it is exactly my reasoning, I don't think it would hurt address bar length too much.
Alternatively - is possible - thing like holding shift and clicking back one the UI = forward could work too, without making address bar any shorter.
Hoever, in MicroB outside fullscreen, it indeed act as "forward".
Which is complete nonsense, as outside of fullscreen, you already have UI buttons, so forward could be just there, this or other way. Where it is needed most (fullscreen), it doesn't work, as you've noticed. Not to mention that damn shift+backspace in text field = back, which is just... cruel.
