Hey all, question for the List:
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?

*Unofically*
Konqueror is officially part of KDE, "we" want what KDE provides, not
sure about rekonq now I guess there are no new releases for a long time?
Rekonq can be compared with features to konqueror + kwebkitpart
(which is default on fedora) using qtwebkit instead of khtml, so I guess
it doesn't provide much more (but possibly less without some
non-critical features), there are people here who can tell you much
more about differences.
Firefox is not integrated well with kde, it uses GTK+ (for some parts),
it doesn't integrate with kwallet ...
I remember I was on one of the "recent" meetings (KDE SIG) (possibly few
months ago), someone mentioned this about possible change of default
browser.
