Browsersphere: Around the Browsersphere #5

It’s been a while, and there’s a lot to catch up on in the browsersphere. This time around, let’s focus on all things Konqueror:

Rozengain.com points us to KHTML on Windows part III, which shows how you can test your web designs in the KHTML rendering engine (used by Konqueror) on Windows using VMWare and a SUSE 10 image.
According to this post on Digg and its first comment, a patch has been created for Konqueror that would allow for “plasmoids,” which apparently are somewhat equivalent to widgets in Opera.
Blue GNU discusses the possibility of a KHTML/WebKit merge.
Roderick Greening beckons the KHTML and WebKit folks to make a decision that will benefit the web and web users.
Zack Rusin responds to Harri Porten as part of a debate that I won’t pretend to understand.
A post at The Gay Bar (?) titled “Browsers Suck” says that Konqueror “is just ridiculously hideous, lacks the features Opera has.” Not that the post has anything nice to say about Opera either.
SensoryMetrics released the browser stats from its visitors and revealed that Konqueror was dead last in terms of usage. A post the next day then lamented the omission of the browser in a speed test (via Web 3.0).
