I've been using Conkeror for about four months now, and while I like the Emacs-like interface and the ability to mess around with the presentation of pages, there are definitely a few warts
1. I had no idea how much I relied on the throbber icon until it was gone. For a fairly new piece of hacker-ware, there are surprisingly few usability glitches, but this one makes up for most.
2. Emacs lets you display any buffer (browser tab) in any desktop frame ("window"). This is the only intelligent way to manage this relationship, and the fact that browsers effectively restrict tabs to the frames where they were spawned is what made me try Conkeror out in the first place. For the moment, though, Conkeror is like Firefox, although the developers seem to be working on it.
