I do want another browser. I stated why. Just look Konqueror menus and=20
configurations to see why a new browser is needed. It is _hard_  to find yo=

way around that jungle. Konqueror is a powerful tool and I love it, don't g=

that is why it is important to keep this "general browser" form too.

Suppose you agree with me, and a simplified browser is needed too. You can:

1 - Brand it as an independent application
  a) Being a different application, really
  b) Being a heavily modifies view profile

2 - Keep using it under Konqueror
  a) as a heavily modified view profile
  b) as a profile similar to others
  c) as a slightly modified profile

Changes are necessary to make Konqueror a easy to use browser, but most of =
the=20
technology is already there. The question is how to do it.

Only the developers can tell is 1a or 1b are the way to go. With 2a, it may=

have the same name? With 2b, you stay as you are and with 2c, you lose the=

benefits of the identity in toolbars (training, memory, etc...) to gain a=20

And the up button is not so bad if you put an icon that show what it does: =
go=20
up in the directory structure. And these are not the only main problems.
The main problems are the menus, the configuration, the context dialogs and=

the toolbars.
