I would do the same in regards to using Konqueror + another browser for "modern" features but I don't like going between different applications doing the same thing (which is why I wouldn't use Kmail while I used SeaMonkey). I am actually using Kmail to compose this as I'm using Firefox for web now (with the Arkenfox user.js which disables Mozilla's questionable features from the browser). If the move to WebKit / porting to tdehtml happened, I'd have no reason to use anything else but Konqueror. The adblock filter and other features in it are incredibly handy and bypasses things that other browsers would need addons for; This alone makes me like it a lot in regards to being a web browser. Understandably, I see how switching or using WebKit would be quite a difficult feat right now and I appreciate that the devs do what they can. I said in another reply I'm in college (yes I'm quite a young'n) hoping to learn a thing or two about coding/contributing since I never got the opportunity before.. I'd gladly help out if I felt comfortable enough with my own skills :-) -- - Hunter, aka hunter0one ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
