I hope by the time for release kde 4.1 WebKit part will be in very good shape. I want to see what it can provide me which KHML can not.

Ah, but wouldn't you still use Konqueror, thus still being mistreated by Google's browser check?

Do you think web "developers" will magically learn to check for engines instead of browsers?

Do you mean if I let konqueror pretend like Firefox all the Google applications will work smoothly ?

No.

Try using gmail in konqueror sometime. Its very buggy and not very useful. I love konqueror, but any time I have to log into my gmail account I use firefox.

I haven't seen any bug reports to that effect lately.

I've found I need to spoof as Firefox 1.0.x for Gmail to work correctly. Spoofing as 1.5 or 2.0 doesn't seem to work.

Yes, but when you have the Webkit Kpart enabled, you should better pretend that your're Safari.

but there is no such problem because QtWebKit allways pretends to be Safari running on Mac OS X!

In my logs I see:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/523.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3 Qt"

It's neat because that way all the sites work because they think its Safari on Macintosh!

I wonder why Konqueror developers never thought of that?
Just pretend to be a popular browser and sites work better...

And this means server statistics will show you all as Mac users instead of GNU/Linux users. I don't think that's a good idea, it will destroy our market share estimates completely. As GNU/Linux is rarely sold in retail, the web server statistics are one of the best estimates we can get.

mhm, so that's the reason why apple's releasing safari on windows, to let businesses think they have a bigger marketshare than do actually do...

Well, as long as the sites work properly, and I do believe developers will work better if they have to try to be compatible to three browser engines instead of two, I am glad enough.

Opera is semi-excluded --- they have extensive features to work around broken
sites, in fact.
