KDE has a browser, now, too? I thought it was just a windowing environment. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > KDE has a browser, now, too? I thought it was just a windowing environment. Well, Konqueror (which I’d rather be using) is kind of associated with KDE. You’re right though. It is more accurately a FreeBSD browser, I just happened to be _in_ KDE. Am now here in BSD version of Netscape Communicator. It’s a bit of a bootstrap procedure – the browsers bundled with the ports on-disk are elderly to the point that they don’t play nicely with sites that have newer/ better browsers available for download. (It would help if I were more familiar with KDE and FreeBSD but becoming familiar therewith is kind of the whole point here)
