No, it's not. It's vital that a web browser is actively maintained and 
supports the latest web standards. Neither is the case with Konqueror and 
unless anyone from the local Konqueror fanboys steps up to A) port Konqueror 
to KF5 and B) implements some kind of modern web engine (be it a modern WebKit 
version, Gecko with qtmozembed, or something else), Konqueror is simply an 
unsuitable default.
