| 29 | <application>Falkon</application> is a KDE web browser using the QtWebEngine
|
---|
| 30 | rendering engine. It was previously known as <application>QupZilla</application>.
|
---|
| 31 | It aims to be a lightweight web browser available through all major platforms.

| 35 | Although <application>falkon</application> is now part of KDE, it can be

[fc0828f] | 41 | <para>
|
---|
[4eb513e] | 42 | Falkon relies on QtWebEngine. That uses a forked copy of chromium, and
|
---|
[fc0828f] | 43 | is therefore vulnerable to many issues found there. The Qt developers
|
---|
| 44 | have always preferred to make releases at the same time as the rest of Qt
|
---|
| 45 | (rather than adding emergency fixes). Now that they are keen to move to
|
---|
| 46 | Qt6, the 5.15.3 and later Qt-5.15 releases are initially only available
|
---|
| 47 | to paying customers. QtWebEngine is something of an exception because of
|
---|
[4eb513e] | 48 | its LGPL licence, but getting the git sources (with the forked chromium
|
---|
| 49 | submodule) to a point where they will successfully build on a current
|
---|
| 50 | BLFS system can take a lot of effort. Be aware that future fixes for
|
---|
| 51 | vulnerabilities might be very delayed, to the extent that you might wish
|
---|
| 52 | to consider using a different browser.
