I think you are missing my point. OK, so rekonq has addblock built in. WYSIWYG and that's it. With Firefox I can load _other_ blockers and ADDITIONAL plugins.
You can load additional blockers in rekonq as well, just click a link for a rule list and it is automatically installed. As was mentioned before, plugin support is already being implemented.
Once again I think you are missing my point. By 'additional blockers' I did NOT mean addition sources of rule lists.
I meant additional engines; alternative ad-blockers to adblock.
Yes adblock from Wladimir Palant is great, but some people may have reasons to use something else. I keep saying that we should have that kind of freedom of choice.
You do. This thread is about the default browser which should fulfil the default needs and not everybody's – because that's impossible. A browser should let you browse in the first place if that works there are only a few more things to expect Most people do not even know about noscript, noflash etc. Neither do they develop websites or anything else. They use webmail, facebook, google and that's it. After that it gets into detail and since everybody has the choice to still install/use firefox, there is no lack of choice but just a decision to use it as default or not.
BTW: before firefox became default in openSUSE's KDE pattern, konqueror was the default browser – worse engine, worse plug-in support etc. Those that liked it, used it because for them it had advantage x. Those that did not like it, used firefox because it had extension y.
This is just about a default browser and not which browser is the most versatile in all kinds of disciplines. Whether rekonq is the right choice – I do not know, but firefox is certainly not the right choice because one can use noscript or any of the stuff 99% of the users on the web do not use. Firefox does not even care about desktop integration other than gtk, which is why KDe people have to work on making it fit into plasma's notification system, use KDE's file-dialogues and standard-apps. That's important for the normal user - not having the choice of a dozen adblockers.
Sven Exactly. This is why I advocate switching to Rekonq. Many will choose Firefox, but many will also stick with Rekonq which would help speed up development. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
