I just updated Kubuntu to version 10.10 this week, and I've been trying out its new default browser, Rekonq. I believe it's supposed to be like Konqueror, but using Webkit instead of KHTML.

I've never used Konqueror, always preferring Firefox. But I think I'll stick around with Rekonq for a while and see how it works out for me.

Some minor annoyances right away:
It took me a while to figure out how to edit the search engines list. I never would've thought it would be under Web Shortcuts.
And I'm not too fond of the New Tab page either. Having both favorites and bookmarks is confusing, and the Closed Tab feature is a bit annoying.

Anyway, it's only been a day, so I'll wait and see if this can replace Firefox as my browser on Kubuntu.
