I still use Konqueror but I disabled some USE flags early on since I didn't want some of the bloat. I think I had to enable some since they were no longer a option but sort of forced. Anyway, this is the USE flags for mine but since it is a short list, USE flags for other packages may affect it more. [ebuild R ] kde-apps/konqueror-15.08.3:4/15.08::gentoo USE="bookmarks handbook svg (-aqua) -debug" 0 KiB The hard part, getting it to run as root. KDE doesn't like things running as root so it took a hammer and some elbow grease. I use it to edit config files and it has to run as root to do that. I generally have it open only when I am doing a update tho. Obviously, I never do internet stuff with it either. < wags finger > Dale :-) :-)
