Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ? - Page 4 - maemo.org

Sigh, still so vague that it could easily go either way...
I wish you'd be more specific, but I kinda appreciate why you can't.
The minute you can be specific, please share final developments.

Thank for at least responding!
All the best.

Have you tried Fennec @N9? if not, how can you know it is slow?

Well, you can compare opera, microb and fennec on N900, and assume that it's as resource hungry on most all platforms, and conclude that opera would still be twice as lean and fast on harmattan, and that you'd get the same ratios of open sites before things slow to a crawl.

Of course. microb has no equivalent on harmattan.

I'm pretty sure most of the slowness of Fennec on N900 is because of the humongous ammounts of memory it needs -> swapping to flash. Hopefully that won't be a problem on N9 with the 1GB of memory...

I find the unofficial build of Fennec for the N950 quite usable in terms of speed, even with Adblock Plus installed and active. That plugin strangled nearly all the life out of MicroB.

And no, there's no Flash with this version.

of course you can assume, but... assumptions are assumptions.

It's going to get really annoying having to switch over to fennec every time you hit a web page with flash. A simple way to quickly "open in fennec" should be implemented, maybe long press on the address bar.

jolo... can we PLEASE get come clarity on this now!?
It's dragging on way too long....

The N9 may be buy-able in as early as 3wks in some countries.

If we still don't have a yes or no answer at this late stage.
How can we possibly er on the side of positive thinking.
