Gecko is better than the old engine but..........
by David W Studeman on Saturday 09/Oct/2004, @22:48

Lately I find myself using khtml by way of Konqueror 90% of the time. Konqueror needs a little bit more profile differences between web and file browsing but the khtml itself has been getting a big boost by the Mac people who are using the code to make a new IE free web browser and putting the changes back in the tree for KDE to use. The Konqueror interface itself needs an easy way to set different home pages and button layouts for both profiles but the khtml rendering these days is awesome! Not many people use the gecko engine in Konqueror which is simply a menu click away as long as the gecko bindings were installed and there is a gecko based browser installed. I wonder when a khtml based browser will show up for windows? I know one will exist in Mac very soon if it doesn't exist already. I use Konqi for banking as well but not with a native agent string as many do not recognize it even though it says "Mozilla 5 compatible" but the Konqueror name throws it off.
