Ok, np :)

Yes, that needs to be investigated first (qt3/e) . I plan to do
that, too, as soon as I find time/motivation.

Are those 11MB already with a feature reduced Qt/E? What's your
upper limit?

Yes, it breaks support for Qtopia/Opie. If we do the switch I plan
to create patches to make Opie work with Qt3.

IMHO the overwhelming amount of improvements to the core browser
functionality is worth the temporary loss of a platform.

Any other opinions, anyone?
