javascript support in konqueror sucks.
For everything else it's actually OK. One of these days it will use
webkit
as the backend and then things might improve. Until then, I'm
afraid you
are SOL.
Perhaps [O/T] but is webkit a fork of khtml, or was khtml stopped any
development and webkit took over?
Webkit is a fork of KHTML (and KJS, KDE's JavaScript engine) but I get
the impression that it has benefited from Apple's legion of paid &
full time engineers.
The initial development by Apple was done stealthily, and they made
significant changes (some of which were quite MacOS specific) so it
was not possible to reintegrate their modifications. KHTML & Webkit
retain separate codebases, then.
SquirrelFish seems interesting & relevant to this conversation:
