Wow- I really like how that browser looks... Is that what we can expect to see in Diablo?

No, this is:



Just much, much faster.

5.9 times faster than MicroB is something I'd like to see on our IT. I will install the current version tonight just to give it a try

I'd just like to see a browser that scrolls properly. Kinetic or otherwise. The scrolling in microb has always left much to be desired. The speedier page loading would be nice too.

It's exciting to see XUL come to Maemo.

And XULRunner, not just browser extensions.

At last, some tools with which I already some experience!

And how about the October post, You say ‘browser,’ I say ‘development platform’?

I installed Fennec on my N810.
Firstly it took nearly 20 mins to download and then install. That's pretty slow. And couldnt even cancel out of it.

After the install, the first start of the browser takes quite some time, so much that I though it had hung. (nearly a half minute).

The browser looks good.
There is no scrollbar though anywhere.
Can't zoom using the zoom hardware buttons as yet. (that will be fixed in time I am sure).
Kinetic scrolling works well on a site like goole search results. But on a heavier site (internettablettalk) it seems to falter totally. (in fact on 3rd try it crashed out).

There seems to be no history selection tool. I have to type in the previous link again each time .

At least, I didnt find the 5.6 time faster stats on my rough test.
