[tde-users] Re: Using Konqueror for the web

said Hunter via tde-users: | 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 =) In my estimation Konqueror is not only the worst web browser ever made but the worst from its very inception and the worst imaginable. It's a good file browser, though for anything critical I prefer mc in a terminal or Krusader, which is an X mc. And I very much hope that no one ever tries to make Konqueror a browser anymore -- the idea of it as a web browser was abaodoned by KDE about five years ago, to the regret of no one because it really sucked in that function. https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=132499 There are a lot of good web browsers. (And too many KDE file managers!) -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/
