turns out konqueror does have adblocking

until now, i've faced the problem of no adblocking on konqueror (my personal browser preference), but after having a look in the preferences (aH...) i have found it, and after a quick google even found a adblock subscription service for konqueror :)

Stable web browser for GNU/Linux

Firefox is the web browser that comes on nearly all GNU/Linux distros, and often is the sole one (i.e. there is no other preinstalled web browser). But the truth is, firefox under GNU/Linux is still very buggy, and I reckon it should be considered a beta. But GNU/Linux users: don't dispair! There are two other web browsers that aren't so buggy (and alot more if you use google 8-0); namely Epiphany and Konqueror. Konqueror comes with KDE as part of the package, so if you use KDE and haven't tried out Konqueror for web browsing, give it a go. I can tell you it's one of the best out there. For GNOME users, try out epiphany (most users will have to download and install the package as it doesn't come with many (if not any) GNOME distros). Epiphany is very stable, but it's not nearly as feature rich as Firefox. Use epiphany if you want a good, stable web browser that doesn't crash all too often (in fact I am typing this under epiphany right now ;D), but isn't too feature rich either. Both Epiphany and Konqueror run on either platform (GNOME or KDE) but generally, Konqueror will run better on KDE and Epiphany will run better on GNOME (that goes for lot's of other apps too). For Xfce/Fluxbox/[insert obscure desktop environment here] users, you probably know what you're doing! ;)

KDE vs. GNOME

KDE vs. GNOME. That is the question. I run konqueror under gnome, and it just rocks so much that I'm beginning to see that the only real reason that I use GNOME and not KDE is not being bothered to install it. That's silly really, as there's a .deb package available in the Ubuntu repositories that you can install by just running sudo apt-get install kde. The thing is, to try it out I'd have to install it onto my system, cause I admit that I don't have enough RAM to run a full-blown desktop environment like kde or gnome inside a virtual machine. Ah well. I'll stick with gnome for the time being, although I'd very much like to try out Xfce or fluxbox, as I have a relatively low-end low-ram machine. I'll keep you posted though!
