Konqueror is a next-generation open source Web browser, file manager
and document viewer.
It is highly standards-compliant and its component-based architecture combines
features and functionality of IE, NS and Windows
Explorer. It strives to support a wide range of current Internet technologies,
including JavaScript, Java, XML, HTML 4.0, CSS-1, CSS-2,
SSL (Secure Socket Layer for secure communications), and Netscape
Communicator plug-ins (for Flash, RealAudio and RealVideo, etc.)
Konqueror comes as part of the KDE Desktop Environment project, a free, powerful and easy-to-use Internet-enabled desktop for Linux and other UNIXes. Last week, KDE 3.0 was released by its world-wide team of developers. This release also included a new version of Konqueror (Konqueror 3.0) that supports HM.
