message: "primarily developed for the Linux platform, but also available for some other platforms (including BSD and, recently, Microsoft Windows, although Windows support is very limited)"
I can't see KDE, KHTML, or Konqueror for Windows anywhere, except under Cygwin, can someone confirm this please?yes many say that there is a moranic person who puts junk up that has to do with nothing!!! 
: A cygwin port is indeed not an MS Windows port. But since when is Linux an OS? The OS field in the table should be GNU (or GNU/*), *BSD, Solaris or something like POSIX, to say it's OS independant and standards compliant. NetBSD, SUSE Linux, Red Hat Linux, Mandriva, OpenBSD, are real OSs, but all of those would be too much to mention.
: People all over the world call "GNU/Linux" systems as "Linux" for a long time now. If you actually know the difference then you should know better. Calling it something different than Linux at present would only create unnecessary confusion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.124.141.250 (talk) 14:31, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Platforms 

message: The article says that Konqueror has been ported to Windows with "limited support," but I'm not sure if this is true. The closest I've seen was a defunct project that intended to build a Windows browser using the KHTML engine that does not currently have downloads available.

replies: text: The port works currently, really limited... I tested it on my own, but it takes more then a sophisticated user right now to make it run, and it is not even pre-alpha usable... But that will change pretty SOON, because kde4 developement is stepping forward... --PSIplus Ψ 22:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Konqueror will be released for Windows with the release of KDE 4. Konqueror already runs on Windows, though the level of functionality that currently works I'm not aware of. --71.175.7.129 15:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

text: The current external URL for windows.kde.org no longer works, and has been archived. The most recent working snapshot of that page is from 14 April 2016, and according to that, the most recent version of KDE for Windows is 4.10.2, from 3 May 2013. It seems, that the KDE for Windows project has become dormant since that time. -Mardus /talk 20:46, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Windows? 

message: Project home page.  It was, when I last tested it (Sept 2013) slower, a bit buggy, and limited compared to the Linux version.  Solution is to install openSUSE and update to a current KDE version, and run Windows in VirtualBox, Xen, KVM, etc.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.1.89 (talk) 04:14, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

message: I removed a link to Acid2 page, because IMHO it is not related to Konqueror - at least not more than to any other web browser - so I do not think it is necessary to be linked from the page about Konqueror. The text contains info that "Also, as of version 3.5.0, Konqueror passes Acid2 CSS compliance test." and IMHO this should be enough. Then I added links to KHTML and Konqueror Embedded, which are more relevant. Viliam Bur 195.46.70.44 13:26, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I've noticed recently that there's been a lot of consternation surrounding the security situation of Konqueror--specifically, problems in the way it handles certificates. Also, people have been drawing parallels to Konqueror's support of some sort of filesharing system (?) and Microsoft's ActiveX (which purportedly lead to viruses/security threats/spyware) (see: http://dot.kde.org/1110652641/1110817334/). Could someone write up about this soon?

replies: text: Get Hot New Stuff (GHNS) isn't similar to ActiveX or Firefox's plugins at all.  It is a system to distibute user generated content to applications.  It is used for things like fetching backgrounds from KDE-Look.org in KControl's wallpaper module, downloading new scripts (like for fetching lyrics) in Amarok, downloading templates for KOffice programs (not sure if thats ever been implemented, never used it before).  I don't think Konqueror even uses GHNS, so I'm not sure how that would relate to to Konqueror's security.  Also I'm not sure what you mean by 'problems in the way it handles certificates'.  Is there a specific bug in its SSL cert handling (probably long since fixed), or do you mean flaws in Konqi's cert handling design? --71.175.7.129 15:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Basically it is a way for users to download themes, applications, and such otherwise not found in one's distro's repositories. --<SPAN STYLE="font-family: 'Ubuntu'; color: gray; background-color: blue;">DSA510  </SPAN> <SPAN STYLE="font-family: 'Ubuntu'; color: Red">Pls No Hate</SPAN> 04:44, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Before Konqueror, KDE seemed to have a file manager/web browser called KFM which has seemed to have dissapeared.  Was this an old version of Konqueror or a completely different program?

message: There is a brand new KDE web browser named Falkon merging over QupZilla and Konqueror, which Konqueror is fatally aging that KDE users think.
