I'm fairly new to KDE, only used it briefly back in RH 5.1 or sometime around there. Well I'm using Konq as my browser and it's extremely slow rendering pages off the web compaired to Mozilla/Firebird. Is there a way to speed things up in Konq? It takes Konq two or three times as long to render a page as Mozilla/Firebird. Any suggestions? I'm not bashing or anything just tring to make Konq keep up with the others. I want to keep everything I use as KDE native because I don't like using GNOME based software in KDE since they generally don't match, looks wise. Thanks.. Jason

I don't know if it's any consolation, but I've experienced the same. Konqueror works very nice, but is very slow rendering certain webpages, especially compaired to Firebird. Regards, Pieter Hulshoff

Is Konq still relatively young? It does use the KHTML engine correct which is what Safari uses on the Mac system. Safari is quick as heck at loading as well. I'm not to familiar with Konq, right now I've decided to switch to Mozilla :( But I hope something get's looked at as far as Konq goes but because I really think it's an exceptional web browser. -Jason

Hi Jason. Why don't you use Opera? it is as fast as hell and beats any other browser by a mile! -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."

I've used it on my windows box before but I'm not to keen on the interface. Of course that's on my windows box.. so the linux one could be different. Does it utilize the KDE theme and look? Is it using QT or GTK? Thanks for the suggestion.. Jason
