    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
    • Can inspect web pages.
