Why aren't you using Falkon right now? It's lightweight (written back-to-front in C++), fully open source, based on QT instead of dead and bloated GTK. It doesn't have a lot of extensions right now, but adblock is included by default and you can install greasemonkey to rice Jow Forums. It might just be the firefox killer we've been waiting on

>Falkon (formerly QupZilla[3]) is a free and open-source web browser. It is built on the Qt WebEngine[4][5] which is a wrapper for the Chromium browser core.[6]
Oh, it's another chromium reskin episode.

I use it, but it's only semi lightweight and it becomes an incredible resource hog when watching high resolution videos on YT.
James Parker
yeah its a huge piece of shit and i routinely have to kill my whole xsession when it devours all available ram and everything locks up but im hoping if i shill it someone will make it a better browser. because i dont want to install gtk on my laptop

Having been written in C++ doesn't guarantee being lightweight. By that logic, almost every browser is lightweight. Post benchmarks if it really is that good.
Jace Watson
because it, like all Chromium-based browsers, are still locked at 60 fps for some reason on Linux
seems alright otherwise, though
Mason Peterson
>its just chromium again
What the fuck, OP? Why bother?
Isaac Russell
> dead and bloated GTK
Ahem.
Justin Ramirez
it is compared to qt
Henry Carter
more thorough qt integration i guess
Jacob Martinez
No it isn't
John Perry
Like anyone gives a shit what widget toolkit or whatever a browser uses
Samuel Flores
Maybe if it could use either chrome or Firefox addons, or both.
Gabriel Scott
didnt compile
Evan Davis
i do very much
Ryan Ramirez
Because I'm using qutebrowser.
James Mitchell
If only qutebrowswr had proper adblock and a console it will be the only viable browser
Connor Morales
I agree. The only thing it's lacking is extension support. I need my ublock origin.
