15:28 <atk> Joerg-Neo900: microb on a freshly flashed n900 is pretty usable

15:33 <sixwheeledbeast> microb is fine if the website isn't full of js and other rubbish. Unfortunately a lot of the web is full of scripts and such now.

15:38 <atk> no no, it works fine even on reddit's webpage.. i mean reddit doesn't necessarily work correctly

15:38 <atk> but it works as well if not better than tear

15:48 <xmn> I remember how fast it was when I first got it in 2009! But slowly realized that web dev and JS would kill it. So I used to use an adblocker, but not do host blocking and noscripts. which help, but breaks a lot of things

15:49 <xmn> I find I don't browser as much as an impulse, as much as specific intent.

16:05 <sixwheeledbeast> adblock plugin for microb slows the browser down

16:07 <sixwheeledbeast> umatrix/noscript shows there isn't many scripts on reddit

16:21 <atk> probably the easiest way to block ads on the phone is to edit the hosts file

16:22 <sixwheeledbeast> :nod: exactly

16:22 <atk> or not visit websites with lots of ads

16:22 <bencoh> noscript works well for you on device?

16:23 <atk> I think he meant noscript on his computer

16:23 <bencoh> ah

16:23 <sixwheeledbeast> :nod:

16:24 <bencoh> because it was a pita to install here (I had to unzip/modify/rezip an extension), and even once installed it was slwo as hell

16:24 <bencoh> slow*

16:26 <atk> i still need to check the sim slot, GPS and SD slot on this new n900 board

16:26 <atk> I should probably do that soon or else all this will be wasted time

16:32 <atk> The weird thing is I don't even remember reddit being browsable on microb previously

16:34 <bencoh> there used to be a working reddit client

16:34 <bencoh> (why are we on #neo900 and not on #maemo?)

16:38 <xmn> atk, bencoh, actually for me, I meant on the n900! I using an old vers (of course) 2.3.2 of noscript, https-everywhere 1.0.1, fasterfox 3.9.5 and speed DNS 0.2. And using host blocking as well. Got rid of adblocking since it was running too slow.

16:39 <xmn> I remember though I use be able to open like 20 page in the browser, now days If I do more than like 3 I take the chance of it slowing way down.
