It's spelt Konqueror. Anywho, it's krap as a browser. As a file manager, it's great.

EDIT: Forgot to answer the question. Browsers for windows based on KHTML don't exist because no-one wants to pay the licencing fee for QT for windows and no-one wants to make a QT clone.

The engine itself uses Qt? Why?

You obviously aren't informed. Konq's UI is QT. Thats it. KHTML is simply a HTML rendering engine. Nothing more, nothing less. Safari uses KHTML. Notice no QT UI? QT is simply a toolkit and has an opensource licanse. Commercial apps created using the QT toolkit must pay for a licance. SO even if what you said was even remotely true anyone who created and Opensource Browser on windows using the QT toolkit would not have to pay any licanse. ( I am not even sure if QT has been ported to windows in the first place. So writing anything in QT on windows outside of cygwin would be impossible.)

For future refrence, I suggest you know more about the topic you post on. You are obviously ignorant to the subject at hand and yet still felt the need to post on it.

And for the guy who started this thread. I dont know of any browser on Windows that use the KHTML engine.

I know this thread may be long forgotten. But I think this project deserves some attention:

http://www.getswift.org/

The alpha actually works :)

Hey that's pretty cool. I made this thread last year because I was designing a webpage for a business and wanted to make sure it would work with Safari.

AT first I really don't have any idea about what is this KHTML.

Now I think that it is something like Gecko.Am i right ?

Gecko is superior to KHTML in every aspect: rendering, error reporting, JavaScript support, DOM support, XML/XSLT/XPath support, CSS... the list goes on and on.

Personally, I don't like KHTML. If you've got a Mac, look into Safari and/or WebKit. WebKit has better support for the things I listed above, but Safari is more widely used. If on a Windows box, check out Swift. Its still very alpha, but it works most of the time.

Especially on OS X.

Myself, i'm waiting for Unity to pickup steam (and i would like to see a native Windows version, which is being worked on)

one thing i like about KHTML/WebKit, it can have a native UI on pretty much any platform it runs on, i have seen a Gnome version with Gnome widgets, a Qt version with Qt widgets, a OS X version with Aqua widgets, etc.

Same can't be said for Gecko.
