What would it take / whats the protocol to push forward the idea of
replacing Konqueror as the default web browser? Konqueror doesn't seem like
its going anywhere, and I really think that the user experience would be
better served if either Rekonq, or ideally, Firefox were the default
browsers. Is there any specific reason that Konqueror has stuck around as
the default for so long?
Where is it you think it needs to go?
1-Its UI is mature (predictable, comfortable for those who need to get work done)
2-It incorporates a choice of two rendering engines, one matching the
functionality of Chromium (WebKit), the other that enables using some web
sites (largely older) as intended without any need for them to be restyled
(KHTML; functionality discarded from all major name browsers: sizing in
physical units that are accurate when logical display density matches display
device density: pt, in, cm, mm; Geckos can so render if restyled using
proprietary mozmm CSS units, but in others it's entirely impossible.).
