Still using Opera 12 b16 which is fast, compact and fully implements HTML 5. It's got some serious bugs though and doesn't support Flash.

That can be set with a command, I think. I don't have time to look it up right now, but my MicroB opens up new windows in the background...

I'm a bit baffled... I searched and can't find the thread...

It's either a CSSU/thumb option (or HildonDesktop), or I set it by typing about:config in the MicroB address bar. I can't find it now, though. Sorry...

BE CAREFUL with about:config. If you don't know what you're doing, STOP.

Edit: Well, I rechecked my MicroB, and it doesn't open new tabs in the background anymore. But I SWEAR I had that going recently (I reflashed about a week ago...)

One disadvantage of microb, at least for me, is that it doesn't handle USB mouse clicks; I can point but I can't click. Opera can handle that, as can Chromium (under Estel's Easy Debian).

EDIT microb doesn't handle clicks on the links, but clicking on the buttons in the browser interface, e.g. the back button, works. One exception is the maximize button in the lower right corner, that still needs a fingerstylus tap unless the address bar is visible.

Yeah, very annoying when using vncserver or connected to tv using a bluetooth mouse... In these use cases I use Opera, anyway it crashes too often

Is there really a way to get new windows to start on background?

My MicroB is opening new window on foreground (tested with just flashed device). And I hate it that way.

That would be nice, but according to this from 2010:

I'd love to get my hands on this patch. Anyone know how to get hold of Andre Klapper?

Having more than browser (microb and Opera in my case) has helped me in situations where one or the other would not correctly show the Wifi authorization page (e.g. microb says "data transfer interrupted). I haven't looked into why that happens; meanwhile I just fire up the alternative browser and it works.
