found that Konqueror Very Often misrenders modern websites, but IMO it's probably the
best all-around file manager I've used; very flexible due to splittable panes, kio
slaves, etc. I do miss KDE's Image View, which I think is better than the one in
Trinity's Konqueror, but otherwise, Konqueror rocks as a file manager.
yup, it is always the browser of last resort, for use if and only if nothing else will,
due to setting or plugins, open a page. and even then it usually doesn't work. it is a
file manager that renders web pages about as well as mc does.
