Description
Introducing CatBlock, an innovative ad-blocking extension that replaces unwanted advertisements with delightful images of cats. This extension can function independently as an ad blocker and is compatible with popular browsers including Google Chrome, Opera, and Mozilla Firefox on desktop. Utilizing the open-source code from AdBlock, we have transformed the ads you typically ignore into charming feline photos! Our team, comprised of seasoned contributors to the original AdBlock project, has leveraged our expertise to create this unique fork. Like its predecessor, CatBlock is fully open-source and adheres to the GNU GPLv3 license. You are welcome to explore our code on GitHub, and we actively monitor our support site for any inquiries or issues you may encounter. Additionally, we have set up a public Discord server where users can join for assistance and community interaction. If you're not a fan of cats, you have the option to customize your experience by choosing any images from Flickr instead! This flexibility ensures that everyone can enjoy a tailored browsing experience.
Description
Falkon is a web browser developed by KDE that utilizes the QtWebEngine rendering engine and was formerly known as QupZilla. Its design focuses on being a lightweight browser compatible with all major operating systems. Initially created for educational objectives, Falkon has evolved into a fully-featured web browser since its inception. It includes all the essential functionalities typical of a web browser, such as bookmarks, history (accessible via a sidebar), and tabbed browsing. Additionally, it comes with an integrated AdBlock plugin that automatically blocks ads by default. The project traces its origins back to December 2010 when the first version of QupZilla was launched, developed in Python using PyQt4 bindings. Following several iterations, QupZilla underwent a complete rewrite in C++ using the Qt Framework. The first public version released was 1.0.0-b4. Up until version 2.0, QupZilla operated with the now-obsolete QtWebKit, but subsequent updates transitioned to using the QtWebEngine. With the arrival of version 3.0, the project ceased development under the QupZilla name and has continued to be updated and released as Falkon. This transition marked a significant shift in the project's identity and focus on modern web standards.
