I use konqueror foremost as a file manager _between_
systems (sftp://...)
AND as an old browser to check my web pages to insure they play nice
when visited by someone using an older browser.
I don't doubt that others do, too.
Konq's KHTML is the only remaining web browser engine capable of rendering
physical sizes specified by legacy CSS accurately. The physical CSS units cm,
mm, in, etc. were changed in the CSS3 specification to be logical sizes. When a
display's physical density is matched to logical density by the server, Konq
displays physical units accurately at their actual physical sizes. With other
web browsers, this is only possible if the physical display density is 96 DPI
(uncommon to say the least) and the server's default logical density of 96 DPI
is retained.
Recent Gecko browsers do have the capability of rendering at accurate physical
sizes when physical and logical density match, but only by using proprietary CSS
which doesn't exist in legacy CSS.
http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/dpi-screen-window.html is a simple means to confirm the
foregoing.
