well you can browse the web with it so what else would
you call it? Words like abomination, etc are
adjectives of the system, not a noun ;-)

I guess the words he may have been looking for is
"works with all web sites". This is an unfortunate
state of affairs, but true, and will remain so while
web designers continue to put their "creativity" and
the so-called "user-experience" ahead of useability,
speed & accessibility.

I like Konq but I just cant go everywhere with it! I
hate flash, so I tend to ignore sites that use too
much of it anyway, but I do need to use the
netbanking.
