It's not so hot on the web, as it tends to gag on Javascript a lot. I don't know if this from sites using IE-style scripting, or if its javascript implementation is borken. But for everything else it is wicked good, especially its ability to handle almost any file format or network protocol.

tuxchick --

You wouldn't know about any plans to fold in improvements from Safari, would you, and if they might fix the seriously broken Konqueror javascript?

dino, the article says "There is a side project underway for Konqueror to start using Gecko as its rendering engine." No mention of Javascript. :(

Can someone tell me what technical differences between KDE and gnome exist?

Why do we have two dekstops?

tadelste,

We have dozens of desktops.

Most people use one of two.

For some, the command line is their favorite desktop.

WARNING: DO NOT do this in Windows or using IE!

Open konq as a browser and go to http://www.astalavista.box.sk
