Konqueror's Javascript seems to not work with a lot of sites, and it garbles some pages to where they are unreadable. I don't know why, maybe Firefox/ Mozilla are better at handling IE-style evil page code. If the new release catches up to Firefox, that will be quite impressive.

1:21 PM EST 		Yes, you are right in saying that Konqueror has problems in rendering some sites, but that is getting better. I was forced to use it when fixing a friend's machine where firefox was entirely borked and konq is usable. They are saying that 3.5 fixes a lot of the java and rendering problems. We'll see. Normally, if given my choice, I use krusader and Opera anyway, but it is nice to have a choice.
