My One Gripe: The Browser

[chris062689]

I love using KDE 4.2 (Neon).
My only problem is, Konqueror.
I love it and all, but it has a few gripes I'm hoping you guys could fix...
1) Pages don't render right (digg.com) Is there any way I can tell Konqueror to use Firefox's rendering Engine?
2) A small gripe, typing into the search bar doesn't go to Google's I'm Feeling Lucky page, it just comes up as invalid URL.
(Meaning, if I type in "Ubuntu", it doesn't go to http://www.ubuntu.com)


If I use Firefox....
1) It looks fugly.
2) My extensions don't transfer over (meaning, if I want to open a deb, I have to save it, and then open it in Dolphin, I can't open it straight from Firefox because it "doesn't know how to open the file")

Please solve my problem! I'd prefer Firefox, but getting those features in Konqueror could work.

Not the perfect solution, but the gtk engine has caused me numerous problems, so I will not recommend using it.

Is there anyway you can... import your program extensions (is that what there called?) from Konqueror into Firefox?
I think after that... I'll be set.

Anytime I have gtk-qt-engine installed I get a runaway mess of scim-panel-gtk... don't know why or how, but I do. If you experience a slow down, check for it.
