i use konqueror as primary webbrowser, and firefox as backup for sites that don't work reliably in konqueror.
Both on kde3 and kde4

I use konqueror all the time, apart from when i want to view a flash site ( youtube ) because i disabled flash in konqueror as it can make it completely freeze ( not to mention use 100% of my cpu just to display someones ad! ). However ocassionally i do get annoyed with it ( especially when it crashes, then when i restore my session it crashes shortly afterwards before the page even loads because of memory corruption ) and then i just wipe /tmp/kde-ben/ and then it behaves ( although i lost my session but oh well... )

I do not use konqueror at all. Dolphin and FireFox.
I was used to Firefox when I migrated from windoze.

using konqueror but some sites i need to change to firefox our opera. Also wanna try a native chrome because it fast on windows and i'm addicted to it. Having also problems with flash in konqueror but don't know for sure if its konqueror our kubuntu.I think its the later because when i add " /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/ " to plugins its working much better but still with some problems.

No, I've found Firefox handles web pages better and especially Hotmail website. Konqueror is all but extint since the use of Dolphin in Kubuntu. As a web browser, it still lacks many of the standards that Firefox and other browsers have included already.

Yes, I use Konqueror as a primary browser.

Although I also have (a 32bit) Firefox installed for flash (since neither Gnash nor SwfDec are completely usable yet) and other occasions when Konqueror doesn't cope with the website.


It's time to prod some serious buttock! ;)

Atm. i use opera as primary browser.
Firefox is secondary browser.
Konq 3. is for stuff like checking time scheduals for SL(Stockholms local trafick company that is responisble for all comuter trafik in stockholm) ore checking the news and so as my opera has a bit 2 many open tabs 2 be fast in navigating:P

and i also use konq.4svn for more test browsing some pages

file management i use konq3 primarly but alsop konq4sv, krusader 4beta, and nautilus when programs like vuze use it for file mangemnt, and it has one function that is nice, it has a replace only existing file sin folders when dropping a folder isde a directory whit an alredy exsting folder whit the same name.

I would like to use Konqueror full time but i can't. Flash sucks with Konqueror. CPU and Memory comsumptions are high. A lot of kio_http are open...

Opera QT 4 is the best web browser for KDE4.

Just for file-management, or when Firefox crashes on a JavaScript page. :)
