Re: webkit in konqueror!

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.
