|

32 | <application>Falkon</application> is a KDE web browser using the QtWebEngine
|
---|
33 | rendering engine. It was previously known as <application>QupZilla</application>.
|
---|
34 | It aims to be a lightweight web browser available through all major platforms.
|
---|
35 | </para>
|
---|
36 |
|
---|
37 | <para>
|
---|
38 | Although <application>falkon</application> is now part of KDE, it can be
|
---|
39 | installed without KDE (with the loss of <application>kwallet</application>
|
---|
40 | functionality).
|

|

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