So, what does everyone use? Arora? Rekonq? Konqueror? Something else?



I'm using rekonq now but probably going to move to arora, rekonq isn't rendering all pages right for me ><

Arora is dead. No action here - http://code.google.com/p/arora/updates/list

Use Konqueror with kpart-webkit or Rekonq 0.6 with Qt4.7. Webkit in Qt4.7 is much better.

How exactly is Arora dead when the source code for version 0.11 was uploaded on September 26th (that's three days ago) according to the link you provided?

Yes, it is active and there are plans for the future. You can check the official website of Konqueror and also the feature plans in the KDE Techbase website for more info on that.

That said, I use rekonq 0.5.0 and it works just fine for me.

In the official site the last news is from 16-October-2007: Konqueror 3.5.8 Released
http://www.konqueror.org/news.php

And in the techbase not very much either

My post was from 19th September, and don't tell me, that from link I provided presented hope for a new version (issue,issue,issue... no commits). This link was from Arora site. I was wrong.


Sorry for my bad english.

Whoops... Sorry, I misread the date of your post as September 29th, not 19th. :< So you're actually right, on the date of your post there wasn't anything indicating a new version. Serves me right for not paying attention before replying.

Not all konqueror-related development is filed under "konqueror" on techbase. ;) Development on konqueror's rendering engine (KHTML) is treated separately, and so is development on the webkit kpart. You can also take a look at the changelogs, for example the one for KDE SC 4.5.1.

Konqueror with kpart-webkit is absolutely effective one ... it was my fool to not using it from the past :(

I had been using Chromium for some time, but I've returned to iceweasel/konqueror combo a couple of days ago.

There are a few glitches (crashes) in Konq/WebKit that don't allow me to make it my only choice, but it is the prettiest and slimmest of them all:

Moved to Discussions and Opinions since this seemed to be about web browsers in general, and not only KDE browsers.

I use Vimperator*, for the simple reason that there are so many add-ons for it I can't live without. Overall it works quite good.

(* which is just a Firefox extension)

I use Opera, simply because it's _fast_ (I think now even faster than Chrome after their recent update), and because it offers so many useful things out of the box, of which I won't bother to summarise here.

Prior to Opera I did mainly use Vimperator with an almost identical setup to Hans as shown in his screenshot.
