I've tried 'em all and Konqueror is the best Unix browser I've found. I haven't even upgraded to the 2.2 release yet. 2.0 was bad, but 2.1 is really a nice browser. I get occasional wierdnesses, but not many at all. Occasionally, you'll get a core dump on exiting the File Manager, but that's not a big deal (after all, you're done with it then!) and I've seen a web page where the input statements in a form asking for a number wouldn't recognize the input, but that was only one page and I suspect it was some non-standard wierdness in the page code. I've seen some really wierd pages run just fine. Stuff that would blow Netscape off your system seems to work. Feature-wise, it's just great for anyone maintaing a network. You can have FTP open on one pane, HTTP in another, your home directory in another, and even pop open a terminal pane that is dragged along with the GUI as you go from directory to directory. I checked hits on my web page the other day and Konqueror was #2 to IE. Of course, that's not saying much. IE is about 99% on my page. I think it was 317 hits for IE, 7 for Konqueror, 4 for Netscape and 1 for Scooter.
