Mozilla is actually the most standards-compliant browser there is.

MSIE is a very poor browser, and doesn't support many nice features of CSS
that allow clean and attractive website design (child selectors and fixed
positioning are high up on my list). However, pages without these features
work fine on browsers such as Konqueror.

As I said, most of the problems in Konqueror are Javascript-related, and
there's simply no real standard for Javascript. I'd be great if the
Javascript in Konqueror copied Mozilla or even MSIE - those of us who write
proper web pages don't use it anyway.
