Rekonq 2.2 Brings Improved Web-Browsing

Posted by Michael Larabel on February 28, 2013

Rekonq, the lightweight KDE web-browser that's written using the WebKit rendering back-end, is up to version 2.2.

The noted improvements to Rekonq 2.2 are restoring the closed tabs page, Nepomuk2 support for storing information about bookmarks (though Nepomuk1 support has been dropped), bookmark menu improvements, and other minor improvements.

Among the minor improvements is improving the KGet handling, the spell checker is now faster and less intrusive, and then "a lot of small things."

More details on Rekonq 2.2 can be learned from the developer blog post.
