I for one know of many webpages that work > correctly in Konqueror but fail miserably in Firefox; guess why? Because > these pages were designed for IE only Once I helped one guy with testing web pages on Linux - it worked in Firefox, IE6 in wine but Konqueror failed - totally messed page. So I read w3c specs - and guess what? Konqueror was only one browser rendering it correctly (by w3c specs :). Back to topic: there are possibilities to replace Konqueror - or at least KHTML - with WebKit. Arora is nice Qt 4 lightweight browser but looks now that development stalled for a while. One reason is maybe waiting for Qt 4.5 - it adds support of embedding Netscape plugins to QtWebKit. Another missing feature is password management. Try 'yum install arora'.
