Of course it will continue evolving, everything is evolving, that's why we got 3 then 4 then 5, maybe the standard recommendation rate will be higher (because of minor versions to fix or evolve the major version) As others pointed previously, there is almost no development upstream for Konqueror and Rekonq, compare this to Firefox. Web browsers should support the latest HTML standard, this is the purpose of a web browser. If a browser is slower than the competition, doesn't support extensions, and doesn't support latest HTML standards, being a KDE project doesn't make it the best browser. I think the least we can do is to ship Firefox, even if Konqueror stays the default (which I think very bad default) Mustafa Muhamad P.S. I tried opening Youtube in Konqueror and the video did not play, how do you use Youtube? Flash? > -- > "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant > words are persuasive."
