Maybe it is irrational, but I don't really see a good reason to use Konq if you don't use KDE. I've used KDE since 3.3, and enjoy the level of integration. If you don't benefit from the integration, it's just an aging browser, though there is on-going work to make it more modern without losing the integration. There are other WebKit-based browsers besides Chromium out there and there are other Gecko-based browsers besides FireFox / IceWeasel out there. By experimenting you may find one that is less bad for you than FireFox. Finally, if you need a browser that doesn't cost anything, even if it is not Free Software, Opera is supposed to be fairly good, and I think they even have .debs available. I used it as my primary browser before switching to Linux (and mostly Free Software) and I actually found it much more usable than both IE6 and whatever Mozilla product was available at the time. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
