Falkon

Jul 20, 2023

Web browser based on WebEngine (no integration with KDE Plasma)

Falkon is a new-ish and very fast QtWebEngine browser. It aims to be a lightweight web browser available on all major platforms. Falkon has all standard functions you expect from a web browser. It includes bookmarks, history both also in sidebar and tabs. Beyond that, you block ads with a builtin AdBlock plugin, block Flash content with Click2Flash and edit the local CA Certificates database with an SSL Manager.

Falkon has a wide range of features supported by KDE Frameworks and many integration points with KDE Plasma. A “-qtonly” flavor is available without these features

  • spellchecking
  • word completion
