If I were a hacker and I wanted to play around, the first thing I would do is make a cp -a of /usr/bin/browser.launch to browser.launch.orig. Then I would make sure that my new browser could take an url as a command-line argument. I would then copy my new browser to /usr/bin/browser.launch and see if that worked. If that fails, maybe I would then do a
strings browser.launch.orig | sort | less
to see what that reveals. It seems to reveal a few things. I would guess there might be one or two dbus messages to catch.
Something similar could probably be done with bookmark.launch.

Hmmm. I thought I copied and pasted.... but at this point I don't really remember. I'll re-try typing it directly
file:///media/.../bookmarks.html worked!
Thanks

But because of the above, I still would want to change "browser.launch" and leave "browser" alone 'cause I want to get all that launcher stuff for free. Right?
Maybe I should do more checking and less thinking...

just had two things show up...
1. to paste something into a text area, i had to use the long tap menu. the paste option of the osk didnt work (seems to work in the full screen one tho. bu that keyboard has its own issues).
2. sometimes the dashboard comes up empty when opening a new window using the + button.

hey, you probably know this, but some link buttons on facebook don't work in tear, such as the 'post' button for posting a message to someone's wall. also, the double tap, drag to select text only selects one word, and it won't copy after being selected.
great browser. my tablet feels new again.
