Thanks for confirming this. I hadn't mentioned it in my list because I thought it might specific to my tablet : in my efforts to regain acceptable battery life since the Diablo upgrade, I have disabled swap, and was attributing this instability to low-mem conditions.

Okay, that's one each, then... :-)

One of the best SW for our N8xx, thanks a lot pronvit!

A few things on my wishlist:

1. Flash should be configurable. Mostly not needed anyway.
2. Animated gifs should be switched off. Mostly ads anyway.
3. User CSS would be a great additional present. I use it mainly for ad filtering.
4. Auto reconnect when connection is interrupted. I pay for time tethering to my mobile, so the connection often interrupts.

Thanks for listening!

5. User Agent should be configurable :)

I've tried it, uninstalled, but battery drains quickly. Is it something which can be left after uninstallation? Thanks.

6. Import micro-b auth credentials, at least once at the start :-)

note: i could not get this to work with 36-5, but after updating to 43-7 i got it working. (i haven't heard mention of anyone else having a similar problem, so i just thought i'd mention it.)

One major feature (that has been mentioned before) is the Zoom. AFAIK webkit has built-in zoom right? Webkit is so fast with AJAX that I would like to use it with AJAXAmp, but I need to zoom in.

Really, really nice though, way better than MicroB

Patches
 
Sounds like webkit is working out pretty well. What I'm wondering, before I get it, is whether there are easy temporary patches that would fix some of the problems without needing to start microb?

ie, using wget for downloads (is this compiled?) or copying the link and pasting it in another window to open it in a new window?
