I've tried out kde again lately, and decided to test out konqueror for a bit. Seems to be working fine but there are huge slow downs on digg.com. This is with edgy and latest kde.

I found this solution with a bit of googling.

Choose settings -> configure konqueror then choose adblock filters. Check enable filters and add the following (you add it by pasting in the text box and press insert).

Now digg should be fine, why this works I have no clue.

It works in firefox too with the adblock extension. It does mess up the page a little because it isn't downloading that backdrop but it doesn't lose anything important and is much faster, so thumbs up from me.
