konqueror - Two browsers are overkill. ... Not at all. I typically have at least 5 different ones open at once.
Konqueror is also behind in web ... Clearly. However, Konq is the ONLY remaining browser with the capability, (when the DE's logical display density does actually match the screen's physical pixel density), to render objects at specified physical sizes. In all newer browsers[1], physical sizes pc, cm, in, pt, mm and others are all arbitrarily rendered at [il]logical sizes[2]. Rather than 12pt equaling 16px at a display density of 96, 12pt is rendered at 12px, 56.25% of the specificed physical size. At 200DPI, 12pt in other browsers comes out to as little as[3] a mere 12.96% of intended physical size.
[1] In Gecko browsers, physical sizes can be produced, but this requires styling with Gecko's proprietary mozmm unit rather than traditional physical units, such as pt or mm. Physical sizes remain physical sizes in other browsers only for printing.

[3] A device pixel and a CSS pixel are at least in theory not necessarily equivalent. A device pixel is a physical size fixed by the display device. A CSS pixel is an angular size that varies very considerably in practice.
Whilst I can only speak for the 4.x version under openSUSE 13.1, Konqueror has surprised me on a few recent occasions. It's the only other browser than Firefox I currently have installed, and so in those circumstances where Firefox throws a wobbly at something I test under Konqueror. It's astoundingly fast. Granted, it's not bogged down with the bookmarks and cache I have in Firefox, but I don't get that sort of page load speed even on a new FF install. And it renders a lot of websites surprisingly well to boot. I'd add that Konqueror isn't just a web browser but a file browser, and whilst Dolphin will suffice for most users, some still prefer Konqueror for some of the additional bells and whistles it provides for local file management. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
