Maybe one day one of us can port it over to WebKit (hopefully not Blink > or WebEngine, yuck..) It also has an obsolete Javascript engine and an uncertain number of security holes (because all non-trivial programs have bugs, and in something as complex and with as large an attack surface as a browser, some of those bugs are going to affect security). Properly maintaining a browser, even if you're using someone else's rendering engine, takes a lot of manpower. Konqueror is a good file manager, and its HTML-viewing functionality is useful for displaying things like local help files, but I wouldn't consider it a good or safe option for browsing the Web at large. (Also, the only available options for rendering engines these days are the Corporate family (Webkit, its fork Blink, and QT5's repackage of Blink's core as WebEngine) and the Inconvenient family (Gecko and its fork Goanna). Webkit belongs to Apple, Blink belongs to Google, and Gecko and Goanna aren't really intended to be separated from their existing browsers. Choose your poison.) E.
