There used to be attempts to build Gecko on top of QT. Whatever happened I don't know.
That branch still exists and AFAIK also receives occasional fixes. The Qt port however does not mean any integration into Qt environments. It just uses the Cairo-Qt wrapper to draw everything (buggy). I had a look at FF-Qt a few months ago: https://kamikazow.wordpress.com/2011/01/16/quick-look-at-firefox-4-for-q t4/
I suspect Mozilla's addon system may be a big obstacle to KDE integration.
That's actually not an obstacle at all -- at least when using the official addon API (aka. JetPack). It is perfectly possible to implement that API on top of WebKit browsersne. because with that API addons are written using HTML(5), CSS, and JavaScript. Rekonq has already rudimentary support for Chrome extensions which follow a very similar design route (that support is not enabled by default AFAIK).
I hadn't realized it could use Chrome extensions. The two things that keep me from using it regularly is though it is fast, it is slower than Chrome or Firefox and it can't use the Google Talk plugin which serves as my primary telephone. I wonder if it has an API that would make it possible to interface a sort of caller program with.
Are chrome extensions working? I am using a recent trunk build of rekonq and don't see anything about this.
I use rekonq extensively, but I am not sure it is quite ready to be the default yet. Besides the extensions issue, it is also unreliable when playing media files (like flash video), and does weird things with highlighting in gmail. Further, the version of QtWebkit openSUSE uses is very old. This will be fixed with the upcomiong QtWebkit stand-alone 2.2 release, but that is not out yet. Until it is I don't think making rekonq the default is a good move.
-Todd Well, we aren't going to remaster the 11.4 iso. Rather, talking about default for the next release. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
