Web browsers in Qt (not Konqueror)
 
Iam wondering if there are any good web browsers written in Qt. Do not count Konqueror as iam trying to find an alternative to it. Preferably Gecko based. Do you know of any?

sorry but no. the latest stable version 9.24 has major issues with flash, i.e. it does not work. however, there is a beta release 9.5b which i am using. with it flash works flawlessly so far. but i understand if you are a bit hesitant :)

Now there is also arora, a Qt4-WebKit browser. It's still in early stages of development, but quite promising!

you can downgrade your flash version to 9.0.48 as I did form your distor's repository

I am using Opera 9.5 beta 2 it will work with the current flash version, and I am having no problems either and I find it much better than Opera 9.27 (current stable version)

This thread shows how different the views of two persons can be.

I wouldn't ever think that opera integrates well even to a minimum degree with kde. To start with, only the menus use qt, the rest of stuff is done from scratch. And even the menus doesn't feel right like the rest of qt applications, the layout is not quite the same and the icons break it even more.

Being that said, it's an excellent browser, but if we speak about integration with kde, I'd give it an almost-zero.

On the topic, there are not much qt browsers to choose from. Though with qt4 you can see the first views of what Arora will be. You can also look at webkit browsers. It's been long since I check it, but there might be some webkit browsers that use qt as their toolkit, I don't really know.
