Because Konqueror is based on a browser model, a single click opens a file, a link to a
network resource, or an application program. You can also open content by typing
Web-style addresses in the Location box. The rendering engine used by Konqueror, called
KHTML, is also used by Safari (the popular Web browser for Apple Mac OS X systems).

Web pages that contain Java and JavaScript content run by default in Konqueror. To check
that Java and JavaScript support are turned on, choose Settings???Configure Konqueror.
From the Settings window, click Java & JavaScript and select the Java tab. To enable Java, click the
Enable Java Globally box and click Apply. Repeat for the JavaScript tab.
File types and MIME types??”If you want a particular type of file to always be launched
by a particular application, you can configure that file yourself. KDE already has dozens
of MIME types defined so that particular file and data types can be automatically detected
and opened in the correct application. There are MIME types defined for audio, image,
text, video, and a variety of other content.
Of course, you can also perform many standard file manager functions with Konqueror. For example,
you can manipulate files by using features such as select, move, cut, paste, and delete; search
directories for files; create new items (files, folders, and links, to name a few); view histories of the
files and Web sites you have opened; and create bookmarks.
