Falkon 3.0 Released As The Successor To The QupZilla Browser

[M@yeulC]

Let's hope Falkon will use a Vulkan renderer down the line :P

So, this browser doesn't use Blink, Webkit, Gecko or CEF? I might give it a try, especially on lower end hardware.
So, what is it? KHTML?

Can't use it as a daily driver because I depend on Stylish / color inversion addons

Same here. I had QupZilla installed for the few sites that didn’t work in Firefox, although it seems they work fine now that I use Pale Moon instead. It’s a good thing I guess, since I don’t want to install KDE.

I quit QupZilla after seeing that probably the team don't care about users issues. Hope that with the rebranding they improve their support.

It uses QtWebEngine, which is an implementation of Blink.

Did someone say Falkon?

[PluMGMK]

they spelled it *exactly* like it's pronounced. With K and everything, I especially liked that one.

Not on this side of the Atlantic…

Can you give an example or two?

Using the flatpak of Falkon and it's pretty decent. Since it's using blink it renders all pages just fine unlike other lesser-used browsers (e.g. otter). And native wayland is a strong selling point. Now all I need is lastpass support....

Well QtWebEngine uses Chromium which uses Blink. The way QtWebEngine uses Chromium is similar to what what CEF does but a little more low level and with more customization.
