When will we see Minefield in the application manager? I'm with Volt ("anything that requires compiling or buiding smells too much like my work hours"), and I'm avoiding the red-pill-flash-boot-deblet-hokey-pokey (I got done being impressed with me compiling my own kernels in 1988, 1992, and again in 1998). I'm glad people can do it -- but I'm "stick a fork in me and call me done" with spending my precious sleep hours recovering botched upgrades.
I agree -- Mozilla's Fennec needs to CUT THE PORK. It is way too much of a memory hog and it has no menu or way to change options other than the about:config (which is difficult to work with, especially on Mobile platforms.

I am looking forward to HTML5, if they only had thought of that earlier, instead of XHTML1.0. :B

I am revisiting this thread because I find it a useful thread and I would like to keep it somewhat current. It's been half a year and I have the most recent version of Tear installed. I also have some other browsers installed now, but Tear and MicroB are the only ones I bother to start up.

For browsing with more than a couple of windows, Tear seems indeed much more able to handle it. It has other unstabilities, but as it is, I have to say Tear is a viable alternative to MicroB.

to bad that nokia never made allowances for a third party browser to take over the myriad jobs of the built in one (dbus calls and all that)...

I use Tear when possible, too, but it is a pain when another app opens a link in the default browser, because then I have two browsers open...
