Anybody Using Falkon Browser?

Falkon is my favorite browser, but I'm having issues with it getting. Keeps freezing up on me. Any thoughts?

I've never even heard of it. Perhaps you're better off posting this to their Support.

It used to be Qupzilla.

Third party software that we don't supply ootb, your first port of call should always be the developer. We even say that in the Help Manual. Asking us to fix this is like asking the Audi dealership to fix your BMW. Yeah, they both have mechanics, but where would you take your BMW first?

I see, that's cool. I'll check with them.

AS far as I know Falkon is KDE/Qt dependant. Kaos, which is an Arch based distro with KDE has it as the default browser. I think that it needs some stuff to work properly on LL. Read here https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/falkon/ and here https://www.falkon.org/about/

Hope this helps!

Thanks Moltke. As it happens, I gave up on Falkon because the spell check doesn't work, for the reasons you specified. I tried to find and install a dictionary for it, but was not successful. Too bad, it is an excellent browser. Fortunately, there are many more!

It's nice, but it's also slow. Here on Reddit, if you go through your home feed by pushing 'h' to hide each post and go to the next, there is a noticeable lag, and fan noise, on each keypress. No other browser I know of does that. https://get-9apps.com https://get-cartoonhd.com VidMate APK
