Good morning everybody =)
I'd like to ask, does anyone *actually* use Konqueror to regularly
browse the internet? I have used no better file manager than Konqueror
but the web aspect seems to be hindered. I don't think its a fault of
Konqueror itself but the way web design has changed. You can test this
yourself by using wiby.me (an early web design search engine) and
looking at sites indexed on it. These usually display fine in Konqueror,
but when you go to a modern website like DuckDuckGo for example it
doesn't display properly at all. It's a bummer since Konqueror is one of
the hallmarks of TDE for me, although I don't know much about the web
browser (KHTML) aspect I believe its integrated into some Trinity
applications which is a really nice feature. I first really thought of
this when I used KlamAV's virus browser function (which I assume is
using KHTML integrated) but Trend Micro website (being that it's likely
changed a lot) doesn't display properly.
For the time being I'm using SeaMonkey since my usual browser, Pale
Moon, does not take too kindly to *BSD.. And since it's a suite with a
mail client as well I'm not using Kmail. I might switch to Firefox, but
if there is any way to use Konqueror I would love to. There's so many
options that far outweigh most dedicated web browsers such as its
adblock filters and the ability to disable JavaScript which gets rid of
any need for an add-on like uBlock Origin. I completely understand that
working on it to display modern web pages is probably too difficult
since Trinity's KHTML/Konqueror is older, this is just me dreaming here.
Ideally I'd like to be able to make full use of a TDE web browser and
the applications that work with it =)
