What does it have over Falkon (previously, https://qupzilla.com https://qupzilla.com, which supported a whole pile of platforms), or for that matter any of the chromium based browsers, which all seem to be "de-googled"?

  Is the Falcon actively developed recently? By the way, Bromite is available in F-Droid, is there any plans about Falcon for Android? > any of the chromium based browsers, which all seem to be "de-googled" Are there many of them?

    The Falkon fork was just made a few months ago although the latest release is from May, so that is fairly old in browser update land, but being just a few months old is pretty decent WRT browsers that aren't FF/Chrome. OTOH, QupZilla was one of those just a few releases a year projects anyway. So a few months between releases wasn't unusual. https://github.com/QupZilla/qupzilla/blob/master/CHANGELOG https://github.com/QupZilla/qupzilla/blob/master/CHANGELOG Looking at the Falkon repo (https://phabricator.kde.org/source/falkon/ https://phabricator.kde.org/source/falkon/) there were commits made just a couple days ago. So, it looks like its being actively developed. There is also a fair amount of mailing list chatter. Yes, there are a ton of chromium forked browsers: (random link with a long list of alternative browsers, almost all of them have some tie to ff or chrome) http://www.canadiancontent.net/tech/downloads/Internet-Browsers-page-2.html http://www.canadiancontent.net/tech/downloads/Internet-Brows... As far as android versions, I don't know what the plans are, you could ask them. AFAIK, Qupzilla didn't support any mobile platforms, although QT does iOS & Android. I'm sure they would take a pull request <wink>
