Konqueror's function as a browser hasn't been changed.  What has changed 
is that the 2 KDE-3 file-manager parts have been replaced in KDE-4 with 
a single part based on Dolphin.  This new part doesn't yet have all of 
the features and the tools seem to have gone missing.

Also, last time I checked (TRUNK), KFM (Konqueror File Manager) isn't on 
the menu even though you can now select Konqueror as your default file 
manager.

Then there is the question of whether to use KHTML or WebKit to render 
web pages.  IIUC, the intention is to support both of them for a while 
at least.  So, if you find a page that doesn't work, just file a bug 
report on it.  If it used to work, remember to clearly state that it is 
a regression.
