Pros / Cons: Replacing Konqueror with Firefox

Fri Aug 7 12:03:41 UTC 2015

Pros
1) We will have the most popular open source browser, only chrome (not
chromium) has more users than Firefox and it's not fully open source (it
had flash built in)
2) Very active upstream.
3) Familiar experience for first time users, Firefox tries to look similar
on all platforms.
4) Better support for internet video
5) Much better support for the latest standard (HTML 5), if you compare
Konq to Firefox in http://html5test.com you will be shocked.
6) Support for addons to extend the functionality.
7) Higher number of users and developers mean bugs and security
vulnerabilities gets found and fixed faster.
8) Firefox is faster than Konq.

Pros
Less integration with Plasma desktop and KDE apps.
