Yes, it is not a panacea.  Some websites cause Konqueror to crash.  It just 
crashes less often than when I use KHTML.  :-)

I thought I had USE=webkit enabled somewhere and that's what brought it in, 
but now I see that it isn't set:

[-      ] webkit
    kde-base/kget: Enable KdeWebkit browser plugin using 
    kde-misc/kwebkitpart
        [-  ] (4/4.12) 4.12.5 [gentoo]
        [-  ] (4/4.13) 4.13.3 [gentoo]
        [-  ] (4/4.14) 4.14.0 [gentoo]
        [-  ] (4/4.14) 4.14.1 [gentoo]
