Konquer the web

More and more I find myself using Konqueror rather than Firefox for web browsing. It's sleak, fast, and as I found out today, apparently also the most CSS3-compliant of all browsers.

Now, Konqueror is of course the integrated web browser + file manager + kitchen sink from the KDE project. Strictly speaking, the rendering engine is called KHTML, and thanks to KDE's architecture it is seamlessly and nicely integrated into several KDE apps, not just Konqueror. Moreover, Apple used KHTML as the basis for Webkit — the rendering engine behind Safari. So you might already be using KHTML (or a variation thereof) even if you didn't realise it yet.

And by the way, if you are stuck with Windows or a Mac, the upcoming KDE 4 — being based on QT4 — will also run on those environments. That's one extra step towards liberating the masses...
