The bulit-in web browser on the n810 is good.. its fast, it allows you to visit most websites, even the flash ones.
But it’s terrible at some sites.. e.g. Facebook and other javascript heavy sites.
Mozilla’s port of FireFox over to a mobile platform is still in its beta stage – Fennec.. and though the interface looks quite promising.. its still unusable.
So here comes – Tear. You can download 0.3.1 here [direct to your n810/n800].
It’s built on the web kit (same as Safari/Chrome) and its blazing fast for Facebook (compared to the built-in browser).
It has the Chrome/Opera like start up page – where you get 9 most visited sites thumbnails…(as seen above)
When you hit the full-screen button, it allows you to use up the full 800×480 screen real estate – hiding unnecessary info and by having a small line at the bottom as the progress bar.. Brillant, if you ask me.. do we really need to see big turning arrows or bars?
The only site I have encountered some issues using Tear is.. Gmail. Somehow it’s too heavy for Tear.. but the built-in browser (handling it at a lower feature set) works fine.
So give Tear a run.. its my favourite browser on the Nokia n810/n800 for mobile browsing.
