Okay, here's your new thread... That's interesting, I've yet to run into a site that konq handled better than firefox. For the majority of sites I visit, konq works fine. Many of the problematic sites for me are financial institutions. They often say they support IE and netscape. Generally, if it works with netscape, it works with firefox. Sometimes in konq, buttons don't work, and stuff like that. There are also some news sites that are problematic. www.globeandmail.com consistently hangs konq. Some others (linuxtoday.com, slashdot.org) use javascript to display ads, and the ads in konq come in on top of the article text, often making the article unreadable. For sites like these, where the javascript is non-essential to the use of the site, I just disable javascript for those domains in konq. According to a discussion on the kde quality list, firefox takes the approach of trying to reasonably handle everything it might run into on the web, including all the standards violations introduced by M$ and Netscape. Konq instead takes the approach of correctly implementing all the official standards for html, javascript and so on. So most of these problems are not konq bugs, they are standards violations that firefox tries to accomodate, but konq does not. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
