KDE "As one of our readers has pointed out to us, the latest (3.5.6) release of the KHTML rendering engine passes all of the tests in our CSS selector testsuite - making the Konqueror 3.5.6 browser the most CSS3-compatible of all. Also in the latest release is the implementation of text-overflow: ellipsis. It really is a shame that only a tiny proportion of web users have access to this excellent browser."

Great for CSS. Go for Javascript

I've always liked Konqueror and it's great to be the first in supporting CSS correctly but I don't use it normally because it's extremely slow when using GMail and Google News and also some Web 2.0 sites doesn't render correctly. I hope the next step is to optimize the Javascript machine.

I definitely can't argue about konq lacking in the JavaScript department, but I actually really like the gmail pure-html implementation. If it weren't for the annoying banner at the top telling me to use a better browser, I'd have no complaints about it at all. It's a really nice web page, IMHO.

It's not only GMail, but most of the Web 2.0 sites that don't work with Konqueror.
