Discussion about opening more of them: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75590

It is possible to remove MaemoBrowser entirely and use some of alternative web browser (for browsing, they will yet integrate as good as default one).

How to remove MaemoBrowser:

#Step1: remove easy packages
apt-get remove --purge browser-neteal osso-browser \
tablet-bookmark-manager \
tablet-browser-controls \
tablet-browser-daemon \
tablet-browser-default-plugin \
tablet-browser-dialogs \
tablet-browser-mediaplayer-plugin \
tablet-browser-ui \
tablet-browser-view \
tablet-browser-widgets 

rm /etc/X11/Xsession.post/30tablet-browser-daemon

Step2: install hildon-home which is compiled without osso-bookmarks
wget http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/maemo/freemantle/hildon-home_0.3.70-1+0m5_armel.deb
dpkg -i hildon-home_0.3.70-1+0m5_armel.deb

With this hildon-home

*bookmarks on desktop doesn't have images.
*Adding new elements to the desktop doesn't have 'new bookmark'

(but if you have MaemoBrowser removed, bookmarks on desktop will not work any way)

Step3: remove end of the MaemoBrowser
apt-get remove --purge osso-bookmark-engine \
tablet-browser-bookmarks-mr0

(Step2 and Step3 are optionals. Step1 and Step3 can be merged if Step2 has done already)

If removed

*Not critical (if you really don't have /etc/X11/Xsession.post/tablet-browser-daemon trying to start browserd and reboot when fails)
*There will be no anymore application 'web'
*Bookmarks on desktop won't start
