Re: webkit in konqueror!

KHTML renders a lot of sites good and it's fast, but when it comes to sites for banking, or other interactive stuff, it leaves a lot to be desired, most possibly because the sites are bad engineered. Safari OTOH has found more acceptance with webdevs and therefore renders the sites I (perhaps other people too) really need, where KHTML does not. Rendering glitches are not really a big issue, as long as the content is shown, but when you really need something interactive to work and it doesn't, it IS a showstopper, therefor three engines that are widely used would most possibly help other html-engines, (opera has the same problem as KHTML, in fact KHTML has less problems than opera, except from maybe the gmail thing), plus the fact that even in the gtk camp, devs are looking more and more in the direction of webkit instead of gecko which makes webkit a more attractive choice.
