Rekonq

The fast, WebKit-based browser for lovers of Konqueror

Looks a lot like Konqueror? Yes, it does, and that is going to please a lot of people. So what is different?

• It's a new application, not built on legacy code
• It uses WebKit, giving access to a whole new set of features and tools, which will allow further development.
• It's fast! Your legacy browsers will never feel the same again.

Let's look at its features - does it have the ones you loved in Konqueror? Well, it's still early days, but so far it can boast

• A clean, uncluttered look
• Tabbed browsing
• Support for kde web shortcuts
• Shares your Konqueror bookmarks
• Import of html bookmark files
• Shares your Konqueror cookies
• Renders many pages that Konqueror struggles with
• Can navigate in a proxied network
• Has a privacy mode, for anonymous browsing
