I'm using Suse 12.2, and there Konqueror has "WebKit" as the default
engine. So the web-browsing experience isn't too bad: it's a bit slow,
and some crashes, and some pages aren't shown at all, for example
http://ad-sinistram.blogspot.co.uk/
but fortunately we have the nice functionality of "open in another
browser" (I wish other broswers had this as well), and altogether it's alright.
