Thx, i will try again. I tried Fennace but was too slow. MicroB is good i think, but adblock plugin is missing on it. Anyway i think adblock would be te most important feature to good browsing on internet tablets.

MicroB does have an Adblock plus port. It's in the "Browser Extras" repository.

tho it will probably slow down page loads more then just turning plugins off and leaving the javascript powered ads in place...

For ad blocking please see the wiki at http://wiki.maemo.org/Ad_blocking

This is true. I use a custom css file to do ad blocking on microb and it now works with tear as well :D.

I am to the point where I use tear almost exclusively and the only issues I am having are:

1. Bookmark deletion
2. Scrollbar removal to free up some screen real estate
3. Sometimes when I just tap the page goes flying in some direction
4. Strange results with text input sometimes (issue with n800 OSK?)

Other than that, so happy. As someone said before, clicking thanks doesn't seem like it is thanks enough. If you are ever traveling Bundyo, stop by and I will buy you a beer, give you a place to stay, let you borrow my scooter or bike, etc.

I'd like to develop a bookmark manager if help is required ...

I was having issues with N800 OSK too. Spacebar was non-functional.

I had to reinstall my OS over the weekend (stupid SD card keeps corrupting my main partition), I won't be testing for a while...

Imo it would be much better to access the microb bookmarks from tear. They are stored in the quite common, xml based xbel format.
This way both browsers can share the same bookmarks and a bookmark manager is also not required, as Maemo already has one (which afaik is a standalone app and in no way related to microb).

it seems to have its own binary at least...

Yes, xbel support is planned.
