I would highly recommend using Konqueror... other than the fact its probably the fastest browser I've yet to use on Linux (tried galeon, mozilla, opera), its got a great set of features built in: tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking aka smart javascript, all netscape plugins work in it, useragent changer, and i just love how the bookmarks are handled... KHTML (the HTML render part) is also getting lots of commits from Apple's own Safari browser which also uses KHTML, though more of those will probably make its way into the next KDE release (3.2 scheduled by the end of the year). There are also lots of other cool things built into it such as samba/sftp/ssh browsing, webpage translation (through babelfish IIRC), intelligent history and cookie handling, and its just all around kickass cuz its a part of KDE:) just my $0.02 CDN - --mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/HDhhzK7WDkEewTARAvKsAJwKVsdpXRRw1S5BfMHn5eH1DIaFbACfZpmM 1ek0fd60SJf8JepxxJiqEys= =rdGc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
