What is Falkon?
Falkon is a web browser created by KDE that employs the QtWebEngine rendering engine and was previously referred to as QupZilla. It is designed to be a lightweight browser that works seamlessly across all major operating systems. Originally intended for educational purposes, Falkon has grown into a comprehensive web browsing solution since its launch. It boasts essential features typical of modern browsers, including bookmarks, a history sidebar, and tabbed browsing capabilities. The browser also integrates an AdBlock plugin, which is set to block ads automatically by default. The project dates back to December 2010, when the first version of QupZilla was introduced, utilizing Python and PyQt4 bindings for its development. After several iterations, QupZilla underwent a significant rewrite in C++, leveraging the Qt Framework for its functionality. The inaugural public release was version 1.0.0-b4. Until version 2.0, QupZilla relied on the now-defunct QtWebKit, but later updates moved to the more modern QtWebEngine. With the release of version 3.0, the project transitioned away from the QupZilla name and has since been actively updated as Falkon. This change signified a major evolution in the project’s focus on adhering to contemporary web standards, enhancing user experience significantly. As a result, Falkon continues to evolve, aiming to provide a robust and modern browsing experience for its users.
