Description

Falkon is a very fast web browser that uses QtWebEngine, and aims to be lightweight on all major platforms. It has all the standard functions that are expected from a web browser, including bookmarks, history, sidebar, and tabs. Plus: integral AdBlock, and editing of the local CA certificate database with an SSL manager.

Falkon has a wide range of features that are supported by KDE Frameworks, and many integration points with KDE Plasma.

The "qtonly" flavor omits these features:

spellchecking
word completion
crash reporting
progress notifications
KIO (virtual filesystem) support
wallet integration
content sharing.

Message after installing

If you get wrong colors when watching videos, this is probably because your
system does not support hardware acceleration (see bug 237277): you can
disable it by starting the browser from command line with the --disable-gpu
option.
