I have talked about my [[http://floatingsun.net/blog/2005/10/10/240/|dabblings]] with Konqueror [[http://floatingsun.net/blog/2005/10/11/244/|earlier]]. However, there are still a lot of things I find missing in Konqueror, as a result these days I end up running one instance of both on my desktop :-( Here are some of the things I //really// wish Konqueror had:

* **[[http://del.icio.us]] integration**: Bookmark management in Konqueror is great (I specially love the Kopete bookmark plugin that integrates with Konqueror), but come on, a modern browser **without** social bookmarking support? You gotta be kidding me!
* **Extending Konqueror**: Make Konqueror scriptable, or extendible. Keeping the binary tight and bundling the best features with the core are great ideas, but you can’t please all the people all the time right? So let people extend Konqueror — write plugins, extensions and so on. You know what, just support XUL and Firefox plugins — that way you reduce the barrier to entry for noobs significantly :-)
* **Better multimedia support**: KDE has always been great at doing multimedia stuff. I routinely use kaffeine over mplayer. KDE has also been great at re-using components, and embedding applications. The entire KParts framework is awesome. So why, oh why, is it so hard to view multimedia in Konqueror? Why does it try to use my Firefox Mplayer plugin when it can just potentially embed a Kaffeine part? I want Apple Trailers, Google Video, You Tube, Raaga.com — everything to work **out of the box**.
* Talk to Google: I’m not sure if this is a problem at Konqueror’s end or Google’s, but Konqueror still has a really hard time handling GMail. It just doesn’t look and feel as nice as it does in Firefox. And Maps? My disk starts thrashing, the memory hits the swap and everything just crawls to a grinding halt. Please, Google, KDE folks, talk to each other. Lets see some synergy! :-)

I’ll add more as I think of them.
