Falkon: A KDE Web Browser

Been using as my sole web browser on a daily basis since it was called Qupzilla, maybe for 10+ years as I switched to it from reKonq.<p>I really like it because it&#x27;s fully and truly integrated with KDE, not needed a whole sort of patchs to integrate to it like Firefox needs to.<p>It&#x27;s actually great. Not sure about the &quot;Qt doesn&#x27;t upgrade WebEngine often enough&quot; in other comment (what is &quot;ofteh enough&quot;? I got several updates for it over the year) and of course it can be lagging from stuff from mainstream, but I think for 99% of users it&#x27;s just fine.<p>Granted, you can&#x27;t use Chrome&#x2F;Firefox plugins, which may it seem not worthy to some people, but there&#x27;s a basic adblock and greasemonkey extensions shipped with it with default which blocks most of stuff and even you can install a script to speed up youtube ads so that annoying ad will run out in a sec or less. Apparently you can write your own plugins for it but last time I wrote to one of its devs the api wasn&#x27;t even documented.<p>There are some quirks on it, though, like the user agent thing - I set up as the latest chrome user agent for every website except accounts.google.com where I left it as the one shipped with Falkon so it lets me sign in, and yet it shows a warning about &quot;upgrading&quot; to another browser.<p>Ironically, such &quot;warning&quot; also shows up when browsing discuss.kde.org. Yes, the very KDE discussion board warns you against using KDE&#x27;s own web browser.<p>Since some years ago I have a silly idea about a plugin that transforms tabs into some sort of Vim buffer list thing that can be filtered by the url bar, but am too incompetent about C++.

&gt; Falkon is a KDE web browser using QtWebEngine rendering engine, previously known as QupZilla. It aims to be a lightweight web browser available through all major platforms. This project has been originally started only for educational purposes. But from its start, Falkon has grown into a feature-rich browser.<p>While I applaud competition among browsers, I think that the renderer&#x2F;webengine is such a big external component nowadays (especially if you lump in the JavaScript engine) that it might be more accurate to say that you&#x27;re providing a skin, rather than a new browser.<p>Anyway I miss Konqueror and am happy to see any of its descendants carry on its legacy.<p>(QtWebEngine is derived from Chromium - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;doc.qt.io&#x2F;qt-6&#x2F;qtwebengine-overview.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;doc.qt.io&#x2F;qt-6&#x2F;qtwebengine-overview.html</a> )

I feel so trapped in this current computing paradigm where we&#x27;re all running Chromium and Firefox is bad. I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s substantially better than the days when sites were built to run in IE, since the solution to incompatibility has apparently involved moving the &quot;browser&quot; is really just a VM now.<p>On mobile it&#x27;s even worse, with computing largely being removed entirely, replaced by &quot;apps&quot; that just deliver &quot;content&quot; and monetize their control over the algorithm. Or even worse, don&#x27;t monetize it, but leverage it as a source of power. Zuck and Elon openly say govs were doing that with their platforms, but they hardly seem reliable. Maybe it&#x27;s much much worse, maybe they exaggerated.<p>Urbit is more fun in theory but the community is just a bunch of rw chuds trying to get thiel bucks. Maybe computers just aren&#x27;t that interesting now. At least, you have to be more creative than before. I&#x27;ve been doing <i>some</i> fun stuff. Anyway, &#x2F;rant

There is another web browser build on KDE libraries - Angelfish. While it is marketed as &quot;webbrowser for mobile devices&quot;, it has a desktop interface too. This one could be more easy to get into and help with development, as it is quite recent and does not have a lot of legacy features.

Falkon&#x27;s fine, but it&#x27;s important to remember that it&#x27;s just Chromium with KDE&#x2F;Qt UI on top.

I took a look at Falkon, it&#x27;s not for me. The autoscroll is not as smooth as the regular browsers and their adblock isn&#x27;t as good either.

Question. What modern browser gets containers right?<p>(Firefox was almost there, but the containers don&#x27;t sync over multiple devices.)

I still remember fondly the KDE 3.5 times when we had Konqueror. The best browser AND file manager in one. It was amazing.<p>Then the KDE 4 enshittification came and they had to have a separate file manager with half the features. Bad times.

Can&#x27;t install it due to outdated glibc now. How&#x27;s the download manager today? Can it at least pause and resume (+from different source)?

I&#x27;d like that with a portion of vimperator please :)

From wikipedia, the missing important bit of information in falkon.org:<p>&gt;It is built on the QtWebEngine, which is a wrapper for the Chromium browser core.

What I want: I want a browser without security restrictions, that can run node.js code as well as not CORS restricted fetch.<p>Wanted to code my own via electron, but damn, it was slow.

Does QtWebEngine have security support?
