While I still use it from time to time, the fact is I currently mostly use Chrome, because it is rather pointless to me not to. The browser is fast, somewhat lean, renders everything ok and with a gtk-engine-qt package it integrates mostly without looking out of place. AFAIK, it is not exactly dependence heavy, so that's another plus for integrating a piece of software from another party in a distro that shipped with Trinity.

I would even go as far as saying that in Trinity, given some necessity to keep things lean development wise, dropping KHTML from Konqueror would not be a bad idea. After all, while I love Trinity as a base for my OSs, one must reckon that it is likely that the whole software distribution will slim down as we as users do the long transition from local apps to web apps, further enabling the need for a stable, compatible and fast browser.
But this is just my point of view, taken from my usage pattern and from people close to me.

Konqueror, as a file manager works great. Not as much when dealing with FTP, I've found that sometimes I had to use Kasablanca, but it mostly works fine. I also use it extensively for SMB, where it is also very practical.

Still, it probably isn't that hard to keep KHTML in konqueror in an up 2 date state, to have it render everything ok.

When you mean "controlling browser experience", you are referring to what? I actually never use konqueror extensively due to lack of plugins, session management, adobe flash block... I still think it may provide a better browser experience than the current version of Firefox but Chrome is too good to pass, IMO.

Best regards,
Tiago

I agree. I think its better to work on getting konq to render better.
Its far superior as a web browser even with its outdated-ness (is that
a word?). 90% of the time I find pages render and function better than
in Firefox. I can control my browsing experience better as well by
shutting off tons of stuff whilst still maintaining a usable page.
There are so many advantages to konq as a file manager, ftp, sftp, and
WB that its worth the extra steps.

I hope its considered,

Thank you to all,  and cheers Tiago!
