Hi there.
Reading all the browser choices available it's always been surprising to me that Linux users on KDE desktops seem to forget one of the most capable and configurable browsers around - KONQUEROR.
With opensuse's KDE desktop it works perfectly -- videos as well (ensure adobe flash plugin is enabled -- to get firefox / Mozilla to play videos this plugin needs to be installed anyway) and it's EASILY configurable -- text fonts of the web site can be enlarged / made smaller without zooming the whole kybosh and the renderer (viewmode) can be changed from KHTML to webkit or whatever --I like KHTML for modern websites.
Now if only I could get that POS from Ms called SILVERLIGHT to work via WINE or something then I could get Netflix / sky go etc to work on it. I'm sure there are better DRM solutions for Netflix etc to use than Silverlight.
I only mention this browser because almost nobody ever mentions it -- but if you are running a KDE Linux desktop - either on a VM or as a Host it's worth looking at (and the application menu's aren't TINY on a big screen either).
