As a matter of fact you can ;-) Works fine here:

But a very functional alpha ;-)

As far as plugins, I thought the plugins listed like flash were for
Windows, not Unix/Linux (although I may be wrong). Konq won't support
those ;-) Konq does have plugins for PDF, postscript, MPEG, image
viewing, and KOffice document browsing. Some developers have expressed
interest in support *Linux/Unix* NS plugins so that may happen, but if
the plugin your looking for exists only on Windows your out of luck :(
