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.

Description

While browsing online, you encounter countless advertisements on the various websites you visit. It can be incredibly frustrating when an ad suddenly appears while you're engrossed in an article or watching a video. As a result, most computer users find it essential to utilize an ad-blocker. Choosing between a browser extension and a standalone application is a personal preference, and for those who lean towards the latter, Shelblock presents itself as an excellent choice. Shelblock is a desktop application designed to block ads, trackers, and pop-ups, significantly improving your online experience by preventing unwanted interruptions. Additionally, it offers the capability to identify fraudulent and harmful sites, effectively stopping phishing attempts while also providing customizable parental controls to safeguard younger users in your household. With its default settings, Shelblock automatically blocks both advertisements and sites recognized as malicious, regardless of whether they are accessed through a web browser or another application, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable browsing environment.
