Falkon hasn't been updated in nearly three years, and I really hope this doesn't mean it has been abandoned, because it's one of the few "just a browser"s left.

Falkon hasn't been updated in nearly three years, and I really hope this doesn't mean it has been abandoned, because it's one of the few "just a browser"s left. It's not a "service", it doesn't call home, it's... just a browser, and it's a real shame that it is not the default for most Linux distros.
- peakaboo 5y agoFalkon is not a top browser so of course it's not going to be the default choice for Linux or any other operating system. Linux users today are using the same apps people use on Windows or Mac OS. We just have so much more choice and much less annoyances. For example, our operating system is silent in the background doing its job. There is a stillness and a quiet quality to Linux that the other operating systems don't have at all.
