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.
But I find that those that use konqueror as the browser of choice will
have to put up with pop ups and annoying ads..
But I find that konqueror does a good job with most sites that has lots
of media sounds than firefox does.(thats if those that installed firefox
that is downloaded from www.mozilla.org) . Anyway, trying to get firefox
to link to the media to be played that the web site needed can be a
challenge than the firefox that is made to run within mandriva install.
