Falkon 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.

    Summary: I've installed Falkon this month, and i'm having a great experience, i recommend a lot, so that's why i give it 5 stars.

    Positive: Simple, fast and lightweight, runs perfectly on my windows desktop with 3gb ram, in terms of being fast, i can compare it to K-Meleon.

    Negative: The only thing I don't like about Falkon, is... No API.
