I have almost completely ditched Firefox in favour of rekonq (running from the Git mainline branch). It's been great; fast, lightwieght, integrates with KDE beautifully (the Firefox-KDE integration in openSUSE, while better than any other I've seen, still sucks), has excellent Flash support (exspecially since I changed pluginsEnabled to '0' in rekonqrc), and is just a great browser.

So after all the lathering praise, I have one serious issue; I am relying on the Webkit Web Inspector to replace Firebug (the one and only reason why I was tied to Firefox). Overall it matches most of the features I used in Firebug, with one exception: it does not highlight an element on the page when I hover over it's "node" (am I saying that right?) in the DOM browser. Firebug does this, and it's pratically required if you don't know where an element is on the page.

In Opera (which i tried to use, but simply couldn't acclimate to) the Web Inspector does just that (though it outlines the element rather than highlighting), and AFAIK it dos the same in Safari, so I think this must be specific to rekonq.

If anyone knows how to change this, that would be great, but I am mostly trying to find somewhere to get in touch with the devs and ask them (rekonq isn't exactly the most popular KDE app - yet ). Anyone know? Better yet, are any of the devs hanging around the forum?

You may wish to check in reKonq's Help > About reKonq item, which may have the email addresses of the developers listed.
