Hi, everyone,
I've been using Konqueror 2.1.1 quite a bit, and I've only run into one or
two web sites it had problems with. It's mildly bloated, but less so than
Mozilla or Netscape 6.x. Overall, I really do like it. Mozilla has also
come a really long way. Galeon requires Mozilla to run

I hear good things about Konquerer. I've used Galeon - it's a good web
browser, but still requires a mozilla install to get the Gecko rendering
engine.
But I gave it up for a UI
It's not the home environment that concerns me here, but the business
environment where PC hardware is always switched/upgraded/tinkered with. I

I think there's another issue here that we haven't mentioned relating
the the US vs EU. The US's definition of "Porn" is completely different
