That is true. Still, I use fvwm and run Konqueror. It installs
KDE stuff, yeah, but it haven't been a problem for me, so far.
Maybe it could (and probably does?) make system a bit slower,
that is one downside. But as I said, I run fvwm and like to keep
it simple too - IMHO Konqueror is still a nice browser to have.

Mozilla I've tried, and it was *far* too slow on my ancient and
slow machine (P100/40MB). Even Galeon was, so I use Konqueror and
Netscape 4.x sometimes. Links I haven't been using lately, lynx
just comes more naturally when typing at the console. :-)

I was surprised, that my bank accepted Konqueror. At least I was
able to do a transfer with it...
