Seems it is currently for ARM 7 only (Cortex A8 CPU) phones/tablets.It "Loads quicker than the stock browser".
It's had between 1 to 5 million downloads already.

But how bad is it?

It's not great. There's too much advanced competition out there now. It's better than stock in some ways, but it's not great. I'll stick with Dolphin HD.

For some reason I never get round to trying the browsers that just make use of the existing web engine.

As one of the 7 people who bought an N900 I'm happy to see the Maemo version. Only had a quick play but it seems pretty good, and the sync with the desktop is pretty cool. So far I'm liking it...

Doesnt work on my Desire HD with a custom 2.3 Gingerbread ROM on it.

Refuses to load any pages. Also apparently is a huge memory hog like its PC counterpart

Also it doesnt support flash yet.

Miren was my favourite but I use Dolphin HD because of lastpass integration

New Firefox 4 looks ok but not lastpass or flash yet

Firefox bookmarks sync seems cool and you can already use firefox2phone add-on on your desktop which works like chrome2phone

I think it's OK actually, and Sync is brilliant.

As for the lack of Flash they're addressing that as a bug, but for now I just see it as an iPhone simulator.
