-<p>Browser Switchboard (formerly browser-proxy) is a program which allows
-you to choose which browser to use as the default browser on Maemo devices.
-It supports MicroB, Tear, Mobile Firefox, Opera Mobile, and Midori out of the box,
-and can also be used to launch MicroB without having browserd running.</p>
-
-<h2>Current Release</h2>
-<p>Version 3.2-2 (2010/05/28) (<a href="browser-switchboard.install">Diablo one-click install</a>, <a href="https://garage.maemo.org/frs/download.php/8174/browser-switchboard_3.2-2fremantle1_armel.deb">Beta-quality Fremantle package</a>)</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Make the "Web" menu entry and /usr/bin/browser script open the selected default browser, and provide a new "MicroB" menu entry and /usr/bin/microb script for launching MicroB.</li>
-<li>[Fremantle] Launching and closing MicroB now works! Many thanks to everyone who tested this and provided feedback, especially Faheem Pervez and Uwe Kaminski.</li>
-<li>Add support for Opera Mobile.</li>
-<li>[Fremantle] Restarting the device after a fresh install of Browser Switchboard should no longer be necessary. Make sure you close any open MicroB browser windows before installing/upgrading, though! (Restarting after installation has never been required on Diablo.)</li>
-<li>[Fremantle] Force the Ovi Store bookmark to open in MicroB, since Ovi Store doesn't load in other browsers. Thanks to ToJa92 of the talk.maemo.org forums for reporting this.</li>
-<li>Add the ability to send debug logging output to syslog as well as the terminal, and add a config setting "logging={stdout,syslog,none}" to configure it. Thanks to Faheem Pervez for the suggestion.</li>
-<li>Turn on additional optimizations for code size, which should reduce disk and memory footprint slightly, and also possibly improve startup time.</li>
-<li>Miscellaneous minor bugfixes and cleanups.</li>
-</ul>

-<h2>Getting Browser Switchboard</h2>
-<p><b>For Diablo/Maemo 4.1</b>, the recommended way to install Browser
-Switchboard is via the Maemo
-<a href="http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras">Extras repository</a>,
-which is enabled by default in the Application Manager.
-You should find Browser Switchboard in the Application Manager catalog under
-the network category. Alternately, if you're viewing this page on your Diablo
-device, opening the <a href="browser-switchboard.install">one-click install</a>
-will install the package from Maemo Extras for you.</p>
-<p>Source code and packages can also be found on the Maemo Garage
-<a href="https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=1159">download page</a>.</p>
-
-<p><b>For Fremantle/Maemo 5</b>, beta-quality packages and source code
-can be found on the Maemo Garage
-<a href="https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=1159">download page</a>.
-Packages can also be installed from the Maemo
-<a href="http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel">extras-devel repository</a>
-(though don't blindly enable extras-devel and install/upgrade — see
-the linked page first!)</p>
-
-<h2>Quick Start</h2>
-<p><b>For Diablo/Maemo 4.1</b>, just open the
-<a href="browser-switchboard.install">one-click install</a> in a browser on
-your device and follow the instructions to install Browser Switchboard.</p>
-<p><b>For Fremantle/Maemo 5</b>, or if you want to install the package by hand:</p>
-<ol>
-<li>Download the binary package: browser-switchboard_X.Y-Z_all.deb
-(where X.Y-Z is the version number, of course).</li>
-<li>(Maemo 5 only) Make sure that all your MicroB windows are closed —
-the installation/upgrade process will cause MicroB to exit.</li>
-<li>Install the package using the Application Manager.</li>
-</ol>
-
-<p><img src="cpapplet-diablo.jpg" width=320 alt="Browser Switchboard control panel UI"><br>
-You can now select the default browser by using the Browser Switchboard
-applet in the Control Panel. Links in most applications, locally-saved
-web pages opened from the file manager, and (for Maemo 4.x) entries in
-the Web sidebar panel will open in the browser that you select as the
-default. Opening the "Web" menu entry and running "browser" from the
-shell will also cause your chosen default browser to open. If you don't
-configure a default browser, MicroB will continue to be used as the
-default browser.</p>
-
-<p>No matter which browser you select as the default, MicroB can always be
-opened via the MicroB menu entry in the applications menu (for Maemo
-4.x, installed in the Extras menu by default), or by running "microb"
-from the shell. While MicroB is open, it will receive all links from
-other applications; closing MicroB will restore your chosen default
-browser.</p>
-
-<p>If you experience trouble after installing the package, try rebooting
-your device. If that fixes things, please report this as a bug.</p>
