> Falkon is a KDE web browser using QtWebEngine rendering engine, previously known as QupZilla. It aims to be a lightweight web browser available through all major platforms. This project has been originally started only for educational purposes. But from its start, Falkon has grown into a feature-rich browser.

While I applaud competition among browsers, I think that the renderer/webengine is such a big external component nowadays (especially if you lump in the JavaScript engine) that it might be more accurate to say that you're providing a skin, rather than a new browser.

Anyway I miss Konqueror and am happy to see any of its descendants carry on its legacy.

(QtWebEngine is derived from Chromium - https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtwebengine-overview.html )
