It's still very slow and there isnt flash support..
Opera 10 and default browser are much better.

Thought the community would like to know...

Any experiences with the new browser? And if it rocks, is there a way to make it the default in Maemo?

indeed very slow, laggy, no flash.
nowhere near the default browser, as stated before. okay maybe just to tryout, browse in a little different environment for a change...

I still use the default browser most of the time due to Firefox's (lack of ) speed issues, but I keep Firefox handy mainly for the sync functionality. It can be very handy to have all of my desktop bookmarks available on the N900.
That being said, I think the latest beta is slightly faster than the previous one. Still much slower than MicroB (the default browser), though.

I have to say that the new B4 is a vast improvement for me and is now my favourite browser. Speed isn't a problem for me and once up and running it loads pages very fast. I love the tabbed browsing and the sync, and the add ons such as personas, read later and save as pdf.
I also find that memory usage has also improved greatly.
For anyone thinking of giving it a go, I'd say try it, don't cost nothing!
Well done and thanks to the Mozilla team and keep up the good work :-)

As many people here, I tried it, and it's ok to have Sync.
Beyond that, it is unusable. Incredible slow.
