Yep, that's my only major gripe with KDE 3.0.x is Konqueror as a browser.
I've done the conversion and switched to Mozilla 1.1-alpha. Actually the tabbed browsing on it has made me quite the happy surfer.
Opera has it (the MDI interface, and the bookmark sidebar etc.) a long time already, and the Linux versions are really great. I often have 10 - 20 sites open there and almost no crash. I see the same crashes with Konqi, but anyway, there is Opera, which seems to be really committed to Linux, and is working great. It would be nice if Konqu would not crash as a file browser though. It made me testing Krusader, and I like it! So while it (Konquis crashes) is a pity, it is no big deal. KDE3.02 rocks, with a little help of some friends ;-) Regards, Matt T.
Konqueror in KDE 3.1 is supposed to have tabbed browsing. From what I understand, you can see this in the CVS version, though I haven't tried it.
As for crashing, I've looked through the "plans" for 3.0 and 3.1: http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.1-features.html
According to that page, 3.1 includes some kind of crash recovery system (that's already finished according to the page), but it says nothing about fixing these random crashes. My guess is it's something like in Opera. (If Opera crashes, it asks you if you want to start where you left off at the crash when you restart.) But that's only a guess.
I've wanted to send bug reports about this, but it's just impossible when it crashes when viewing random pages at random times. There's some serious issue in the background of the program doing it, not web pages themselves.
I still use it for file managing, and it only crashes maybe once a week as a file manager. It's also easier to view FTP sites in it than in Mozzy.
I don't think I could go back to Konqueror now though. I like the Bookmarks Sidebar too much in Mozzy. Makes it so much easier to access sites. Konq can show bookmarks in a sidebar, but they're not editable.
End babbling. ;-)
