I'm just summarizing what the linked article actually says.
As for your examples, Konqueror and Falkon might be blocked because they use Qt WebEngine – which embeds Blink in the Qt framework [0].

- lights0123 6y agoNice for Google to block the project that wrote the origins of their browser engine.
- eivarv 6y agoThe Qt project didn't write the origins of Google's browser engine. Blink forked from Webkit, which started as a fork of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE. Many KDE-projects are built upon Qt, but Qt is an independent project.
- Drdrdrq 6y agoI think they are talking about Konqueror, not QT. Konqueror is what KHTML was developed for, iirc.
- eivarv 6y agoAh, right. Thanks!
- pessimizer 6y agoKDE-projects like Konqueror and Falkon, the subjects under specific discussion?
- magicalist 6y ago> Nice for Google to block the project that wrote the origins of their browser engine. In this case it's blocking the embedded Blink, which is their browser engine, so at least they're consistent?
- djxfade 6y agoYeah, Blink, which is a fork from Safaris WebKit, which is a fork of Konquerors KHTML. Google Chrome wouldn't exist today if it wasn't for Konqueror.
- magicalist 6y agoyes, that's what the "consistent" was referring to...
