While there are certainly some Opera fans around here, MicroB in OS2008 is FAR from crap. Maybe instead of blanket statements, people could post examples of sites that MicroB performs poorly on (and Opera performed well) to help the devs improve it.

As for speed, that's the tradeoff. It's certainly improved since the MicroB beta in 2007. If you don't care about JS and Flash, just disable them.

I'm glad my desktop isn't _that_ close to that, as my desktop uses half of that.

As far as the webkit fan(s) is concerned, Gecko itself is horrible. The MicroB developers are doing nothing wrong themselves as the blame is solely on Mozilla/Netcape's.

For tradeoff, webkit is still a ways from reaching the stable mark (stable as in debian stable). It being faster, having a lower memory footprint, and higher standards makes it the grand winner. All we need now is a competent developer to whip up a browser with webkit.

And disabling JS/Flash in MicroB? That'll break site's compatibility. You might as well go with Opera for better compatibility.
