Yes. Konqueror, along with most? TDE apps, makes local and remote
(sftp) activities pretty much indistinguishable. There's a bit more
lag when scrolling through large remote images (open with kuickview),
but I cannot tell the difference when playing remote videos with
omxplayer (raspbian app). Another handy thing that comes to mind is
Konqueror opening a remote file in Kate and then being able to click
the Current document folder button to get the remote file tree in the
Kate navigation panel (similar to a network tab bookmark in the
Konqueror navigation panel).

For some reason I've been using Squirrelmail (webmail via Konqueror)
for as long as I can remember. I also seem to be stuck on kpdf,
preferring to drag and drop pdf links to Konqueror (from iceweasel
works, from chromium doesn't).

While I really like the Konqueror bookmark interface - all the options
seem more readily available/easier, e.g. click-browse-click to add a
bookmark to the appropriate folder - I use a bookmarklet to add
important links to a private website (my Konqueror homepage)... When
you're browsing in Iceweasel, how do you add a bookmark in Konqueror?
