Don't.  It's a good file manager, but it doesn't implement the most recent
Web standards.  It remains mostly usable for static pages or those generated 
using server-side systems like PHP or CGI, but strictly server-side pages 
are rare these days.  Konqueror's Javascript engine is antiquated to the 
point of uselessness, and most "modern" pages rely on Javascript.

[Insert 20-page foaming rant about incompetent designers here.  Man, I
feel old.]

The idea of replacing Konqueror's existing HTML rendering engine with 
WebKit was floated at one point, but TDE has never had enough 
manpower to attempt it.

Use *anything* else for general browsing.
