I've been using Konqueror lately, since I heard so many good things about it,
mostly that it's a lot faster that Nestcape - I must say that I honestly
don't notice any difference at all in speed, and have some serious graphical
issues as well. I'm running a 500 MHz processor, with 256MB RAM on the mobo,
32 MB video ram, with new, fast HD's, so I doubt that the system is causing
any lag.
Identical pages load at the same rate in Konqueror as in Netscape, sometimes
slower. And, some pages are oddly skewed in Konqueror so that text which is
centered in Netscape (or IE for Winders) is way off on the right in
Konqueror, running off the right side of the screen - and there's no scroll
bar at the bottom to let me scroll over to read the rest of the text.
Yesterday, I was on a secure site, and it bombed out during a page change
because Konq was not fully compliant. I fired up Netscape and had no problems.
Don't get me wrong, Konq has great potential, but it is not yet mature.
