microb rocks
some little tweaks are still desired but in overall i have to say that it is a mighty little internet-buddy right now ^^

Too bad they didn't test Firefox Mobile, as it works just fine.

did i miss something?

microb uses the mozilla engine and is optified for the n900. it simply kicks ***.
but firefox is too big and slow compared to microb. i tested it and have to say that it was pretty bad. o.O

Microb just rocks. It's best at playing flash of any phone, but flash 10 could make that part much better than what it is now.

Well if you disable the quick-start of microB then you will get better comparisons. They start up in about the same time. Firefox also has Weave, which in my opinion, makes it superior to any other browser there is. Also, the GUI looks great, and with more extensions coming I know what browser I will use.

Microb rocks yeah, but it's javascript engine sucks :| Search for benchmarks and see it yourself on gmail and other javas "heavy" pages.

Fennec is pretty good on this area.

firefox (fennec) is almost the same as microb in javascript?! so it's pretty annoying. ^^

only the webkits like tear are pretty good with javascript. they are comparable with iphone's browser.

yeah, tear is SUPERFAST, but with some tweaks (adjusting memory cache), fennec becomes almost as fast for most sites.

Why don't you try javas benchmarks and see yourself that fennec gives totally different results.
