Konqueror fails, too.
I don't claim that one view is better than the other ...
I just tried to move the bottom line of an article shown in the
Mozilla web browser up so I could see it better, and I could not.
I just tried the same on Konqueror using KDE. Equivalent failure.
It looks to me that `mainstream' browsers are as lacking of decent
interface design as mainstream desktops that lack `incremental search'
(which Jef Raskin (of Apple Macintosh interface fame) recommends in
his book, `The Humane Interface').
