Rekonq, the promising KDE WebKit-powered web-browser, is nearly ready for its version 1.0 release.
One month after the
Rekonq 1.0 Tech Preview release, Rekonq 1.0 Beta is now available, as mentioned on
a Rekonq developer's blog. It's also been confirmed on
the project's mailing list.
Among the features of this open-source KDE web-browser that relies upon QtWebKit is a simpler and standalone design compared to KDE's Konqueror, tabbed browsing support for plug-ins, proxy support, ad block for those not supporting publishers, sync support, and other features.
KDE Rekonq 1.0 Beta can be downloaded from their current (temporary and simple)
rekonq.kde.org web-site.
