WebKit support in Konqueror is coming along nicely in the form of a KPart called webkitkde. If you’re running Konqueror on Ubuntu 8.10, it’s really easy to try WebKit without disrupting your usual workflow:
- install webkitkde
- when viewing a Web page in Konqueror, select from the menu: View > View Mode > WebKit
It’s beta-quality software, but it works alright. Konqueror defaults to KHTML whenever navigation occurs, so you have to manually select WebKit for each page. Now you can do some basic WebKit-compatibility testing using Konqueror.
