What it does
Falkon is KDE's open-source browser, with default ad blocking, a password manager and additional privacy and security settings.
Falkon offers a conventional desktop-browser workflow with an ad blocker already enabled. Its project page also identifies a password manager and configurable privacy settings, making it relevant when you want a KDE browser without first assembling a set of extensions.
The release notes on the same site cover blocker, site-setting and stability changes. Use those notes with the version available in your distribution, especially if you depend on a recently added control. Falkon is maintained as its own KDE project rather than a theme for another installed browser.
Strengths
- Ad blocker enabled by default
- Project release notes cover security-related controls
Best for
- KDE users seeking an integrated desktop browser
