How to use KWebKitPart in Konqueror

You can switch between the different rendering engines:

View
View Mode

(website needs to be open)

If WebKit does not show up in Konqueror, run { kbuildsycoca4; } and restart Konqueror. Note that this change does not persist. If you press the button or open a new website, it will fall back to the default rendering engine.

If you want to set KWebKitPart as default for any website, run: { keditfiletype text/html; } and move WebKit (kwebkitpart) in the Embedding tab to the top.

In KDE 4.6 and higher you can choose the default rendering engine in Konqueror’s configuration dialog under the General section.
