I've been using Mozilla on the A1XE for a week now and

I guess you havn't tried Netscape 4.x?
That browser is much slower?

Have you tried phoenix/firebird?
That is a browser built upon gecko (mozillas rendering engine).  Smaller and much faster.

Look here:

However there I havn't found any binary-files for PPC Linux.

I guess you have to pull the source from CVS and build on your own.

That and the freakin' adverts in the top right window sucking up my precious bandwidth.


I think I've heard that Opera downloaded adverts like once a week and stored them locally.

So I don't belive that Opera tried to take your  precioussss bandwidth from you.
