konqueror webkit uncertainty

i installed webkit-kpart-svn. is that enough for konqueror to use it? i didn't see any place to opt for webkit.

In konqueror you have to go to the view menu, I forgot the item, but then theres KHTML, WebKit and a few other options.

If you want webkit to be the default do the following:

>keditfiletype text/html

and move "WebKit (webkitpart)" in the "Embedding" tab to the top.

thanks for the response, scio. it looks like i messed up the installation of webkit-kpart. i guess this is a sign for me to switch to kdemod instead.

scio · 2009-04-21 21:48:56

heh, kdemod is pretty great.

weird. it finally showed up in the view menu. i installed kdemod and webkit this afternoon and kept checking the view menu to see if it were there. i guess i crashed konqueror enough for it to finally take. being a longtime openbox user, i'm just not used to kde4.2's city ways.

The Webkit KPart for Konqueror is quite unstable unfortunately. ANY webpage redirect will crash Konqueror-if you are viewing the page with Webkit.

It sucks, as Webkit is very speedy and handles Flash beeautifully.....and is roughly 4X faster than KHTML at Google V8 benchmark to boot.

i think i've come to the same old conclusion that kde is not for me. midori is coming along. it'll be interesting to see how it ends up. if they can keep it to the necessary features and not turn it into a giant pile of... whatever, it could be like dillo for the wealthy.

FYI-I don't know what toolkit your *box is based on, but Arora is the Qt equivalent of Midrori...the older 2009316-git version in the official repos is in very good shape-and supports Privoxy. I'm using Arora at least until Konqueror Webikt is useable.

i've tried arora. not bad. i guess i'm really more of a gtk app fan, though.
