Konqueror as Web Browser
by Anonymous on Sunday 03/Sep/2006, @08:26

It's nice to see that Konqueror gets some attention.
With regard to the upcoming KDE 4 and the competitive, actively developed khtml backend, perhaps soon in better cooperation with Apple, has someone already plans for a dedicated Konqueror web browsing profile?
Imho this could and should be better separated from the features needed for local file browsing. The interface could be tidied a bit and some features for the web could be added, like reopening closed pages as in Opera (and Firefox 2.0 I think). Nothing is wrong with peeking at the competition :-)
The technology is there, now Konqueror just needs to persuade the user visually and by interface design that he's got a new favorite Web Browser.

I think Konqueror should indeed borrow a bit more of the opera look, especially in the case where one tab is a website, another is somewhere on the hard drive, some other tab is an ftp-browser, another one a pdf,jpg...viewer..., if you have tabs above the toolbars as opera does there are less problems with shifting between tabs and jumping and humping toolbars. Just my 0,02. But well I guess I should contribute this feature :s.
