You mean by the users of the browser or by the OB core developers? If
the former, I find that somewhat unlikely. OB appears to be much more
complex than the regular browser; I was trying to fix the annoying bug
with the context menu blowing up but the structure was sort of a jungle
and trying to navigate that with a browser that slow turned out to
exceed my patience by a long shot ;-)

I like some of it too. The tests integration is definitely helpful for
