Description Mustafa Muhammad 2014-11-24 16:13:26 CET

Description of problem:
Konqueror uses KHTML by default, KHTML is *very much* slower, and less HTML5 compatible than WebKit, Konqueror can use WebKit by installing kwebkitpart, I think we should ship it as Knoqueror default.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Personally I think we should stick with upstream on this, but I'll leave that up to the KDE team to decide.

I think there is no active develpment upstream, KHTML is several times slower (in JavaScript, I tried Kraken, but it didn't finish at all using KHTML, using sunspider, KHTML 2636 vs WebKit 167 on my laptop, more than 15x), and less HTML5 compilent (about 103 vs 407 out of 555 in html5test.com)

Mustafa

I prefer to follow upstream choice too.

Feel free to convince upstream Konqueror maintainer to use WebKit by default instead of KHTML.
