and for that matter, I will use any browser to hand under KDE or Gnome, being my 'preferred environments'

in regards to 'testing' and different browser capability, I am interested in proxy based testing but have not found anything so far that does this well.

The idea being that you access a site through a proxy, using a chosen browser and the proxy records the session that you can play back again and again - good for regression testing (even load testing) and would allow pre-recorded tests performed using different browsers to be played back when site changes and updates have been made.

I am also plagued by Javascript on sites for which I write robots to test, typically using Mech or pure LWP that (for good reasons) do not support it.

mean time I continue to use Konqueror and Firefox in preference to IE but I think this is mainly down to the fact that there is not now nor likely ever will be a version of IE to run on Linux.
