I'm a heavy web surfer on my N900. At least couple of hours a day is spent on it visiting dozens of web sites and writing and editing blog / forum posts. Other browsers just do not compare to MicroB right now imo. (I have tried latest daily build of fennec, Opera mobile etc) MicroB still wins imo.

- I use greasemonkey to ensure some websites are not shrunk-fit into 800pixels wide. (such as TMO)

- Virtual mouse pointer controllable by finger is a god-send. Ability to simply select exactly what I want just like a mouse by holding shift to highlight text etc, hover on top of web objects and see context popups or navigate menus etc. WHat other browser can do this? (Opera does it via keyboard arrows but it's just not the same)

- Zoom via volume rocker is also a god send. I prefer this to any other method of zooming by other phones / browsers.

- Having multiple windows open and switch between them super quick va Shortcutd. (camera half-press) (tab browsing would be cool too but there's just not enough screen space for it really)

To me, MicroB + N9000 gives the closest thing to a desktop browsing experience on ANY mobile phone.
