Alternatively, one could display a hierarchical list of folders in one panel and the content of the selected folder in another. For example, one could have an Internet bookmarks panel on the left side of the browser window, and by clicking a bookmark, the respective web page would be viewed in the larger panel to the right. It works extensively with 'panels', which can be rearranged or added. Konqueror's user interface is somewhat reminiscent of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, though it is more customizable. Multiple document interfaces are not supported, however it is possible to recursively divide a window to view multiple documents simultaneously, or simply open another window. Konqueror supports tabbed document interface and Split views, wherein a window can contain multiple documents in tabs.

Some examples include:Ī complete list is available in the KDE Info Center's Protocols section. Konqueror can utilize all KIOslaves installed on the user's system. With the release of KDE 4, Dolphin replaced Konqueror as the default KDE file manager, but the KDE community continues to maintain Konqueror as the default KDE web browser. It replaces its predecessor, KFM (KDE file manager). Konqueror first appeared with version 2 of KDE on October 23, 2000. It also follows the KDE naming convention: the names of most KDE programs begin with the letter K. The name 'Konqueror' echoes a colonization paradigm to reference the two primary competitors at the time of the browser's first release: 'first comes the Navigator, then Explorer, and then the Konqueror'. The KDE community licenses and distributes Konqueror under GNU GPL-2.0-or-later.

Developed by volunteers, Konqueror can run on most Unix-like operating systems. It forms a core part of the KDE Software Compilation. Konqueror is a free and open-source web browser and file manager that provides web access and file-viewer functionality for file systems (such as local files, files on a remote FTP server and files in a disk image).
