To everyone on this list, how does the KDE4 version of
KHTML compare with
WebKit? Better or worse compatibility with most websites? If KHTML is
pretty much the same as WebKit as far as CPU/RAM usage and website
compatibility, the easiest solution would be to integrate KHTML as a
kioslave in very much the same way as the old version of KHTML works now
in TDE...
Thanks!

The KHTML version in kde4 is not much more evolved than the one in tde. It has many
problems with big websites such as facebook. This is one of the things that surprised me
the most of kde4: khtml hasn't improved to the point of being comparable with the
other modern browsers.
Many times you click on what is a button in other browsers and it does nothing, this is on
PCLOS 2012 with kde 4.8
Webkit has better compatibility but it is quite slow.
I have seen somewhere that in Konqueror from kde4, you can choose between webkit (from
qt4) and the internal khtml. Webkit should use less cpu because it doesn't stall on
every javascript as the older khtml.
