Rekonq actually uses WebKit under the hood, and it's pretty fast (faster that firefox and chrome) and lightweight, without any issue of compatibility problem on any webpage. The only big issue is that was very unstable for a lot of time.. at least on KUbuntu.
- baghira 11y agoRekonq is dead (as a project I mean), and I've seen plenty of compatibility problems, with rekonq, qupzilla or even the test browser (i.e. the problem is with the engine). FWIW epiphany (or "web", as is it called now) is GTKwebkit based and crashes just as often. Qupzilla-git i.e. the version based on Qtwebengine is getting there, so reasonably soon we may have a decent Qt-based browser (I don't doubt scrollaway knows that). Also the fiber browser looks promising. I do think we need a way to do CI between chromium and Qtwebengine, or else we'll end up shipping browsers lagging one or two versions behind chromium. As far as gecko goes, I think it's over. The hope is servo, which being much more modular may be integrated without struggling with XUL.
