MrA Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 (edited) SafariConquror 585877727[/snapback] 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.

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. 585879582[/snapback] 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. Edited May 6, 2005 by dilema Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sryo Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Safari uses KHTML. Notice no QT UI? 585880084[/snapback] safari does use an adapter library called kwq to make qt based khtml work in os x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsnotabigtruck Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Only QT for Linux is under the GPL. You have to pay for QT on Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rojer_31 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I know this thread may be long forgotten. But I think this project deserves some attention: http://www.getswift.org/ The alpha actually works :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agnes Leroy Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Hook Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted October 17, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 17, 2006 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.
