I just tried the #konqueror #KDE #browser. It works for the type of sites I usually visit, but not for the general web, since it doesn't seem to have support for #uBlockOrgin. A shame, I stopped using it when the web became unusable on it :(

Is there a #servo binary I can try? I was one those that were still using #konqueror when #firefox was clearly the winner, and I want to feel that rush again.

Konqueror: Javascript Debugging

Byt webbläsare till alternativ som exempelvis Firefox, Brave och Konqueror med flera. Fri och öppen programvara. De flesta använder Google Chrome som webbläsare idag. Det betyder att Google sparar en massa information om dig

In my "testing" #XFCE has been running very well with no noticeable issues. #Gnome looked good but ran slow and #LXDE had lots of glitches with the DE setup. I installed #JWM (have not tested) and plan to install #KDE to try out if available.

Web browsers are a very meh. #Dillo works okay, but is not great for "modern" websites. #Chromium (from Orange Pi) works okay but is very slow; standard Chromium is not available. #Epiphany was sooooo slow that is was not usable. #Konqueror installed but was missing dependencies to function. #Surf is working okay; good for basic sites but chugs on more demanding sites like Youtube.

Terminal apps all seem to be working fine. Simple apps like #GoodVibes and #Kpat work with out issues.

3D Games were not playable if they even loaded up. #Minetest opened but was like 1 frame per 3 seconds. #TuxCart installed but would not open.

So far on the #OrangePiRV2 the definitive winners are XFCE, Sakura (teminal), GoodVibes, Kpat, and #plank

Using #konqueror instead of #firefox. CPU temperatures are much lower now.

@danmodp When #Firefox got AI I switched to #Vivaldi and like it so far. Don't know if you'd count it as lightweight.

If privacy is your main concern then the obvious answer is the #Tor browser.

I am thinking of checking out #Konqueror again. It's been a good few years but I remember liking it, and it's good that there's a browser outside the WebKit/Blink/Gecko trifecta.

A lire comme ça, les alternatives à #Firefox, ça peut paraître simple, alors que ce n'est pas si évident, à l'installation, ni à l'utilisation / changement d'habitude. En cours d'essayage ici, l'usage de #IceCat et de #TorBrowser qui annoncent un certain niveau de respect des données personelles. Je n'ai pas le même niveau d'infos pour #Konqueror et #Chromium.
Là je suis sur l'ordi pour les tester dans un usage courant, je n'ai pas encore testé les sites commerciaux, administratifs ou bancaires.

Welp, I don't know why #Mozilla does what it does, but #Firefox is cooked. What are some non-Firefox, and non-Chromium based browsers which are reasonably usable? #Falkon? #Konqueror? (yeah I'm giving Qt WebEngine a pass but what other choice do I have?)

I wish #Palemoon devs could just do things that are cool, but they seem complacent and stubborn. In my ideal world Palemoon would align itself with FOSS and we'd all use it.

@neil Just learned #konqueror is still maintained and has an idependent engine - KHTML. So this would be an option for KDE users. Though the focus serms to on #Angelfish which works well on mobile too, but uses blink engine from Google.

@alcinnz @lapisdecor @dillo

Yeah, it's a pity that there's no way to get to #WebKit through #Qt anymore. Somewhat ironic, since Webkit was forked from from #Konqueror, which was a #KDE project built on Qt.

There's also #Suckless Surf as an über-minimalistic browser (not too bad as an #SSB, honestly), but it's not a serious contender for daily driving. I don't even daily drive #LuaKit, and I love vim-style programs.

Which exactly is #KDE's browser? I know both is, but... which is the "de facto" web browser if you were to recommend one to the general user? #Falkon or #Konqueror?

I still find no reason to move away from #Firefox, but just in case, I should prolly start looking for an alt considering #Mozilla's becoming more and more... hopeless/irrelevant.

#Chromium based browsers ain't a (valid) choice for me, fuck #Google.

Update: nvm, Falkon's not an option as it's a #QtWebEngine browser, which is Chromium based.

Chrome: El dibujante de comics que hizo la promoción del lanzamiento, hace otro comic para denunciar en qué se ha convertido el navegador: En tu intimo espia.

Aunque sea basado en software libre hace cosas que no quieres. Pero como está basado en software libre (#Konqueror->#Safari->#Chrome), hay bifurcaciones del código que le quitan estas cosas como #Brave. Y tambien esta #Firefox que no es tan intrusivo.

@bruno , não sei qual fork você está usando, mas estou bem satisfeito com o #ZenBrowser.

E as notícias da morte do #Konqueror foram um pouco exageradas. 🙂 O desenvolvimento deu uma reduzida há um tempo, mas ganhou tração novamente esse ano. Inclusive com várias versões liberadas. Dá uma olhada no site do projeto.

De qualquer forma, o #Falkon é uma ótima pedida também.

Playground :) Running Konqueror 23.08.5 on Haiku 32bit (already had it running on 64bit, but there I got Dolphin 24.08.1 installed, they don't mix together). :)

@kdedude @EikeHein @tde I am not sure what the phrase "a Real KHTML browser" actual means.

KHTML is a discontinued browser engine that was developed by the KDE project. It originated as the engine of the Konqueror browser in the late 1990s, but active development ceased in 2016. It was officially discontinued in 2023.

#Linux #kde #Konqueror #browser #engine #khtml #html

Doesn't render #Konqueror websites anymore? Reading plain html is too hard for me. 😅
#KDE #plasma6

@canleaf @Juice8767 @LilahTovMoon webkit hasn't been the Chrome engine since who knows how long ago. Probably close to 20 years now'

Went like this: #KDE' #Konqueror web and file browser had a quite clean but basic HTML engine #KHTML. Apple wanted an engine for their new #Safari browser and picked KHTML. Mozilla's gecko (not positive was gecko then) was a mess so wasn't used. KHTML was #GPL hurray! Became AppleWebkit. Google picked it for new Chrome. Soon forked wk to #Blink. Power of GPL.

Very hackish ;) #Konqueror 23.08.5 on #HaikuOS, but running fine so far browsing the web. :)

Oldie :) #Konqueror 22.12.3 (newer ones require qt5extras so not a possibility for #HaikuOS ), latest one I was able to build/run (crashes when trying to use it for local folders).
