</span>Well, a browser is actually more than a location bar and tabs. A browser<br>
also has a toolbar with icons, it has file dialogs for downloads, it has<br>
preferences, etc. And for those, looking and feeling like the other<br>
applications on the desktop environment is more important than looking and<br>
feeling like Firefox on another operating system.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Dialogs, Preferences, and others are well integrated with the look and feel of the whole "browser".<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
The location bar and the tabs indeed behave similarly in all browsers, so<br>
indeed, as Sindre wrote, familiarity should not be an issue. Thus there is<br>
no advantage for Firefox there. And that said, the tabs also have a visual<br>
style, which should match the desktop environment, and Konqueror's location<br>
bar supports those nice "web shortcuts" (e.g. "gg:") that make the search<br>
bar redundant (without unsafe guesswork such as sending all typoed or<br>
temporarily down URLs to Google, ewww!) and allow power users to disable it.<br>
So even there, Konqueror wins.<br></blockquote><div><br>I used gg before, after digging for it, I think most users don't know it exist.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
