The truth is that all gecko based browsers freeze on certain javascript 
web pages I view.  Talk about wasting time killing and restarting and 
reloading.  It's a daily problem here.  The only way I can get it to 
work is to use konqueror to identify the url of the script, then cut and 
paste it into firefox's adblock filter.  Then I can get firefox to work, 
but it's very time consuming and annoying.

Konqueror is worse in it's present state, but my hope is that webkit can 
be successfully used to make it better than firefox on all web pages, 
then I'll make the switch.  If it weren't for the flash plugin problem, 
I'd be testing it out now with webkitkde as the driver.

What happened to opera .. I just tried it on a web page that konqueror 
couldn't work because of the flash problem, and even opera didn't work 
with the latest flash .. is it broken too?
