In 2011 the source code was rewritten in C++ with a goal to create a full-featured general purpose portable web browser based on QtWebKit, with the initial target being visual integration with the look and feel of multiple desktop environments including Microsoft Windows, GNOME, and KDE Plasma.
The first preview release, written in Python (using PyQt library), was ready by December 2010. The project was started as a research project in 2010. History QupZilla v1.7.0 passed Acid3 test. Falkon is also distributed in the PortableApps format. A "portable" (no installation) version for Windows platforms exists. By default this adblocker whitelists the web page of Falkon's main search engine, DuckDuckGo. įalkon uses the Qt cross-platform application framework and offers a built-in AdBlock. It is reported to consume fewer system resources than the major general purpose browsers like Firefox and Google Chrome. Some additional features of the browser include the integration of history, web feeds and bookmarks in a single location, the ability to take a screenshot of the entire page, and an Opera-like " Speed dial" home page. Features įalkon provides several icon sets and other elements to match the native look and feel of users' desktop operating systems. īoth KaOS and openMandriva Lx use Falkon as their default browser. It is built on the QtWebEngine, which is a wrapper for the Chromium browser core.
