IF he's allready running KDE, all the KDE libs are loaded anyway, so konqueror won't take as long to initaly load, take up as much memory, etc. If you start konqueror alone it has to load all the libs and creates a bigger footprint. Anyway, in most cases Konqueror is a good browser. The support for Netscape plugins gives it a leg up on Mozilla, Opera, Galeon, etc. I've even got Java working at one point. KDE seems to be trying to out blinkify GNOME however. And didn't we learn something from Windows about centering desktop around the browser? Oh, it was actually a good idea? Imagine that... I've been running the mozilla nightly from 2001-05-23 for awile and have had minimum issues. I have yet to run into the annoying bugs that turned me off from Mozilla for so long. Looks like mozilla detected the Flash player, so at least some of the plugins that work in 4.77 work in Mozilla. I'll have to try out Real Player... The one thing that will always bug me about Mozilla is it doesn't look like GNOME. It doesn't follow the GTK themes, etc. (Ok, with the classic theme it uses the correct highlight color.) I don't know where I was going with this (oh wait, lunch! that's where I was going.) but yes, GNOME does lack a good intigrated browser. GNOME is fractured into more bits and pieces than KDE. And wether all this is good or bad will fall to the decision of the user who wants to tweak their work enviorment. | Andrew S.
