Is there any specific reason that Konqueror has stuck around as > the default for so long? Oh, please, not this discussion AGAIN! See: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/kde/2014-March/013298.html Firefox has since continued on its freedom-unfriendly road by introducing restricted extensions, the browser version of restricted boot ("Secure Boot"): It will refuse to load any extensions not signed by Mozilla! How is this compatible with the spirit of Free Software? But the main showstopper for the KDE spin is still the total lack of Plasma integration. Rekonq is a more acceptable option, but the only real difference between Konqueror+KWebKitPart and Rekonq is the UI (they use the same engine), so it is mostly a matter of taste, also keeping in mind that the upstream default is Konqueror. But (even though I prefer Konqueror) I am not going to oppose a switch to Rekonq if the majority decides that way. It is Firefox that I have a problem with on a KDE spin.
