Is there any way to speed up konqueror web browser?
With mozilla-firefox it can be done!

Speed up in sense of browsing or in sense of loading ?

both would be nice. I'm really surprised at how slow it is! It's almost back to dialup speeds when surfing?!?

What he's trying to say is how do I enable pipelining (which btw is the speedup technique popular among Fx users.

Not sure if Konqueror can be made as fast as Firefox.
Unfortunately Kubuntu doesn't ship with Firefox.

You may want to install Firefox by



apt-get install mozilla-firefox


Yes. Konqueror is really slow, but the prime objective of Konqueror is not browsing the Internet.
It works fine on Fast Internet connections, but as you are experiencing, it totally sux on Slower connections.

Me too.

I have broadband here. But I have also used Konqueror on a Dial-Up connection and it sucks big time.

Very slow on Dial-up.

Moreover, Konqueror is not as powerful as Firefox is. So I would recommend switching over to Firefox.

Also, Konqueror doesn't support GMAIL as a compatible Web Browser, which is sad. :(
