> Btw, any tips from 100% Konqueror users
1) If the site does not work, use the Firefox user agent.
2) If the site disables certain features for "unsupported browsers", use the
Firefox UA to get them
3) Do not use the Firefox UA unless you need to (statistics if nothing else)
4) For gmail, use mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1 (to use the older version of
the enhanced interface)
