Hopefully it won't drag in everything and the kitchen sink as dependencies.

Exactly. It's the default browser used by Fedora's LXQt spin at the moment. I don't think it drags in half of KDE yet.

I doubt they care some random open source project. It would be like KDE went furious to VW for using name Amarok...

Seems like some of you are confused on what this changes for Qupzilla: The source and bug tracking suite are hosted by KDE. Is that not better than closed source GitHub? It's all in the announcement linked with the article.

It is hard to complain when you are 6 feet under and decomposed.

It is easy to complain when you are a shill or people whose life is useless, so they can waste all day watching internet sites:

The name QupZilla was a little misleading (for me at least) since the name applies that the rendering engine is gecko -based, while it's webkit -based in fact. Therefore I welcome the name change.

Not only that, but Falkon sounds much better too.
