I'm asking myself how you can consider that
Konqueror
"is a superb one" navigator.
It depends on your definition of "navigator". Almost everything I do
on my PC is done using Konqueror as a navigator to
view/play/edit/run
files/programs, local and remote - things no other web browser or
file
manager can do. While Konqueror is essentially my desktop and could
get me anyhere I want/need to go, sometimes the menu or taskbar are
faster/easier.
That said, it is frustrating that I can only use Konqueror to view
websites I know it can handle. I still use Konqueror as a gateway
browser ('open with Chromium') because there are enough of my
regular
sites that still work in Konqueror and I prefer the
simpler/depreciated Google interface. Maybe I'm stubborn, but
Iceweasel and Chromium are pigs and not something to leave running
when you're using a Pi2 PC.
...It's probably a pipe dream, but it would be real nice if there
were
a way that I could have a whitelist of sites that would open in
Konqueror with all others automatically opening in an external
browser. It's safe gateway browser though. I have
java and java script turned off in konq so I can examine a website
before opening it in FF, SM, Opera. I don't use Chromium (Chrome)
because I don't trust google anymore. That and it is a pig on
resources.
Yeah, I have a hard time with anything Google these days (scary
behemoth), but I've come to prefer Chromium over Iceweasel and haven't
found anything else that works reliably (though it has been a while
since I've used Opera).
In time I'm sure webkit or the like can be added
to konq returning it
to a great web browser as well. Patience in the key here.
I wish I had your optimism, I'm really amazed how little traction TDE
has, even more so Konqueror - thanks in part to the Dolphin over
Konqueror boondoggle. I don't know the current state, but the
Konqueror webkit engine (option in KDE4?) wasn't reliably better. In
any case, it's a welcome surprise to hear that someone else still
finds Konqueror indispensable.
