All the pages I checked, including those which used to display strangely earlier, work fine now. It's much faster than mozilla (though it has a longer initial starting time if you're not running kde already), and it can do neat things like displaying postscript/pdf within the browser window instead of popping up an external program. I think my choice of graphical browser is made, for the near future anyway. Of course, I still tend to use lynx a lot.
