Konqueror - the second Explorer?

<< < (2/2)

WMD:
Some people bash Konqueror for being too much like Windows Explorer.  But I think it's okay, I mean, it doesn't crash for me, and there aren't 100,000 security holes between the web browser and the file viewer.  But it IS slow...

DukePuke, you want a better file viewer for Linux?  Nautilus.  You can open it from KDE, with "run command" - but make sure you add "--nodesktop" to the end.  It has a tendency to mess up KDE otherwise.      But it's faster and doesn't have a web browser.

EDIT:  Oh wait, you meant web browser didn't you?     There's nothing wrong with Mozilla...the version that Slackware 9.0 comes with is...1.3.  OLD.  :D  1.6 gave a real speed boost, and 1.7 will even more so (when it comes out).

Siplus:
Opera is good, but it renders horribly, so i use opera (because i like the UI) AND mozilla (for the sites that opera can't render properly)

to get rid of the banner just do a google search for the serial key...

choasforages:
or pay for opera. as for konq. it is part of one of the tightest integrated application sets i have ever seen. thats right children, kde is more in touch with itself and its inner tao then windows will ever be. it only crashes rarerly over here and thats when i start throwing alien html from mars or some shit like that at it. doesn't render everyhting right, but thats why i fire up mozilla.

It crashes, freezes (rarely but does) makes CPU work at 100% sometimes, and so on.

Did you know that vim makes my computer CPU work at 100% sometimes? Not that it isn't an excellent program, all I'm saying is everything has bugs. Konqueror is decent, but Mozilla is better. Hell try Firefox.
