    Sorry if this seems like a troll, but why is this an important achievement? I guess it's nice to have another browser on OSX and all, but it seems like a lot of effort for a small result.

  2. But why bother? by -kertrats- · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why bother when Safari runs perfectly well?

    Sorry if this isnt a web browser, i dont know what this is, but that screenshot looks very much like a web browser. And if it isnt, then just mark this as a |=1|257 |)057 message.

    We already have a KHTML based native browser, its called Safari created by Apple. Personally, I like Safari and see no reason to get Konqueror.

    According to Apple's web site, "for its Web page rendering engine, Safari draws on KHTML and KJS software from the KDE open source project".
