A grumpy user's browser review

Is there a reason why you did not include the monolithic mozilla-suite browser in the review? It is true that it is _said_ to be slated for replacement, but beyond that, it sure does not look like it would die anytime soon. It also performs everyday browsing tasks without flaws for me (that would be 1.4.1, specifically). On the other hand, for instance Konqueror (KDE 3.1.4) tries to look flashier, but it does show distinctly more frequent rendering bugs or javascript issues.
Also, mozilla-bin claims to use 30 MB in top as I write this. I am a bit confused by that number - is it really that small these days?
PS Regarding Konqueror, I do know about KDE 3.2 ... but have not tested it.

Konqueror in KDE 3.2 is miles ahead of previous versions. I'll not say that it's better than Mozilla or Opera, but it's not far behind them either.
