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