Description
Falkon is a web browser developed by KDE that utilizes the QtWebEngine rendering engine and was formerly known as QupZilla. Its design focuses on being a lightweight browser compatible with all major operating systems. Initially created for educational objectives, Falkon has evolved into a fully-featured web browser since its inception. It includes all the essential functionalities typical of a web browser, such as bookmarks, history (accessible via a sidebar), and tabbed browsing. Additionally, it comes with an integrated AdBlock plugin that automatically blocks ads by default. The project traces its origins back to December 2010 when the first version of QupZilla was launched, developed in Python using PyQt4 bindings. Following several iterations, QupZilla underwent a complete rewrite in C++ using the Qt Framework. The first public version released was 1.0.0-b4. Up until version 2.0, QupZilla operated with the now-obsolete QtWebKit, but subsequent updates transitioned to using the QtWebEngine. With the arrival of version 3.0, the project ceased development under the QupZilla name and has continued to be updated and released as Falkon. This transition marked a significant shift in the project's identity and focus on modern web standards.
Description
Servo aims to offer a standalone, modular web engine that can be easily embedded, enabling developers to create applications and content via web standards. Developed in Rust, it shares code with both Mozilla Firefox and the broader Rust community. Since launching in 2012, Servo has played a role in shaping W3C/WHATWG web standards through the identification of specification issues and the creation of new cross-browser automated tests, with core team members contributing to the editing of new standards that have gained acceptance among various browsers. This initiative not only advances the web platform as a whole but also relies on a foundation of reusable, modular technologies that adhere to web standards. Developers can experiment with Servo and report any problems by utilizing pre-built nightly snapshots, eliminating the need for local builds. As we move forward with the release of our initial developer preview, we are committed to enhancing our security measures through formal audits, while also leveraging existing libraries alongside Rust to bolster our practices. This focus on security ensures that the tools we provide are both reliable and safe for developers.
