Konqueror did it!
by Roland on Tuesday 07/Jan/2003, @14:14

With Apple's support, Konqueror/KHTML will make the step from unknown marginalized browser to established browser web designers check against.

Apple's changes, while not revolutionary will also make Konqueror better.

Great news.

Now if only KDE 3.1 would be out :-)

I don't think the importance of this can be underestimated. There was a point a year or two ago where it really looked like we were entering an era where web design was based on IE and IE only. From there it's only a hop, skip and a jump away from Microsoft eliminating the viability of Linux desktop. Only the most fanatical of the Linux faithful could stick with a platorm whose browsers can longer render the latest pages.

But with the recent success of Mozilla and now millions of Mac heads about to switch to a non-IE browser, the balance will shift back to standards-based web design.

This is really great!

Underestimated?

I presume you mean "overestimated".

No, "Understated".

Perhaps.

Oh... yeah. I meant "overestimated". Well, that really took the punch out of my post. =)

actually overstated would work nicely.
I hope you are right about this ending the era of ie centric
web page design.

I think what you've said is <em>very</em> insightful!

Web developers in my office are already downloading and testing, finding out what bugs to look out for (not many, so far) and getting ready for including Safari in the QA process. Well, okay, so at least *I* am ;). But seriously, we're moving out of the DOM1 world into DOM2, and khtml/Safari are great.

And I have to say, that the ChangeLog from Apple was very helpful in getting insight into how the browser has been put together.

Kudos to KDE and Apple.
