Big thanks to KHTML developers.
by m. on Friday 02/May/2008, @00:38

It is nice to see constant improvements to KHTML: this one is especially good -
"Preloading of network resources via a side-tokenizer."

Konq very often "hangs" on big pages waiting for some element to load. Thanks to that is should be much quicker. I hope this is recursive and will skip not only first but second, third, ... to get them later. On most sites when those scripts are just icing on the cake and can get all necessary info when it still tries download missing bites (that is, browsing on Windows with IE or FF).

Indeed. Page loading does feel somewhat faster in recent builds which is much appreciated. Thanks KHTML hackers :)

And much more stable, except for the flash plugin.
I'm happy to come back to Konqueror from QtBrowser.

(is it worth bothering to post this?)

Using an older version of flash may help. Complaining to Adobe may also help (as to why you're complaining, see Seli's blog, apparently their newest linux version works only in gecko, can you say "browser lock-in"?). With a slightly older version you should be fine unless you're on trunk. Flash 9.0.119 works for me on 4.0 svn branch. So I suspect it would work fine in 4.0.1-4.0.3.

Typing about:plugins in your urlbar will tell you what version you have.

For reporting bugs, please specify if it's repeatable (those are the interesting ones, I'm told), and be detailed in what you did to cause it. There's a lot of duplicate flash bug reports. Feel free to join bugsquad and test various pathological flash websites if you are bored. Be patient, developers know about it.

And remember, you can always kill nspluginviewer.
