It depends on your definition of "navigator". Almost everything I do
on my PC is done using Konqueror as a navigator to view/play/edit/run
files/programs, local and remote - things no other web browser or file
manager can do. While Konqueror is essentially my desktop and could
get me anyhere I want/need to go, sometimes the menu or taskbar are
faster/easier.

That said, it is frustrating that I can only use Konqueror to view
websites I know it can handle. I still use Konqueror as a gateway
browser ('open with Chromium') because there are enough of my regular
sites that still work in Konqueror and I prefer the
simpler/depreciated Google interface. Maybe I'm stubborn, but
Iceweasel and Chromium are pigs and not something to leave running
when you're using a Pi2 PC.

...It's probably a pipe dream, but it would be real nice if there were
a way that I could have a whitelist of sites that would open in
Konqueror with all others automatically opening in an external
browser.
