I have to warn you that some sites don't render well with Konqueror.
While overall it is very good, there are some sites that you might need
to tell konqueror to identify itself as something else (Tools > Change
Browser Identification). That will fix the problem most of the time,
but not always. Don't purge all of your browsers, keep at least 2 with
different engines just in case. BTW, Konqueror is also quite a good
file manager.
Just a tip.
