Finally I got an inspiration to try the Firefox for Maemo 5 beta version.
First impression was really good!
Nice, new kind of approach to the function button hiding: By dragging the screen you can reveal the hided sidebars, and then hide them again and center the view to see the web page in full screen.
It has also much more settings than the basic Maemo 5 (Mozilla based as well) browser. Hey! Wait a second!
Never actually checked what settings the basic browser has...! Let's take a look...
Yep, there are the same settings in both, in Firefox they are easier to access. That's why never even thought about them in the basic browser.
Plugins are also supported, as in the desktop versions. That is good, can't live without AdBlockPlus for example...
After very short test I notice that Firefox is kinda slower than the basic Maemo browser... another really annoying detail is, that the zooming does not work as it works in the basic browser from the hardware volume keys.
Well, it's still in beta, I give them all the time they need, let's see if they manage to triumph with this. Meanwhile, I continue using the basic, Mozilla based browser for Maemo 5.
