[Solved] Configuring Konqueror for web browsing - any tips?

[Alexander Barnes]

Hi,
Well I installed 9.04 about a month ago. I'm not feeling too good about Konqueror. Here's yahoo ... looks terrible! What am I missing? Just had a rough time connecting to a live chat site.

Does anyone have a good page for tips on configuration?

Thanks,
Alex

that's a good Q konqueror used to be a good browser .......I hadn't noticed it was like this now as I've ben using firefox .......but the best I could get for the yahoo page was to have it identify it's self as something elce and that wasn't to good eather.....??.....

firefox works well though.

Yahoo & Konqueror at here:



Tools > Change Browser Identification...
> Topic: Beginner's Questions


Adblock

Konqueror > Settings > Configure Konqueror > AdBlocK Filters
> Topic: Konqueror - wrong display of web-sites


Youtube

konqueror + konqueror-nsplugins + flashplugin-installer
> Topic: youtube using konqueror


Java

Konqueror > Settings > Configure Konqueror > Java & JavaScript
> Topic: [solved]Java, firefox and konqueror


When you change the Konqueror settings it would be good to clear the cache & cookies.


Useful add ons from the repositories:

konqueror-plugin-adblock, Adblock plugin for konqueror
konqueror-plugin-khtmlsettings, KHTML configuration plugin for konqueror
konqueror-plugin-minitools, Bookmarklets plugin for konqueror
konqueror-plugin-rellinks, Re-linker plugin for konqueror
konqueror-plugin-searchbar, Search bar plugin for konqueror
konqueror-plugin-uachanger, User-agent changer plugin for konqueror
++ many others

and if you want to use the webkit with the Konqueror

webkitkde, WebKit KPart for Konqueror
After installation: Konqueror > Settings > Configure Konqueror > File Assosiciations > (.html) > Embedding Service Preference Order => Webkit

> Topic: Webkit

I'm not feeling too good about Konqueror.

Your question sounds like you are forced to use Konqueror. If you like, you can install Firefox from repository or download Opera from www.opera.com. Firefox works fine, but Opera has now issue with flash sound. You can have both like me.

Thanks - I'll take a closer look at the links tonight. I've had good experiences with Konqueror in the past so getting it going again would suit me fine. To those who suggest Firefox, Opera thanks for the suggestions. Of course, that's always an option!

Thanks - browser identification and releasing adblock does the trick -- apparently Yahoo is nothing but ads
