After ditching browser after browser due to privacy, AI, or whatever nonsense, I find myself using Konqueror.

It's kind of a breath of fresh air. Google is hostile towards it and I miss having a Bitwarden plugin but I think I'll survive.

@kevin interesting. Haven't heard of that one, should check it. Yeah, for work, forced to use Chrome or Edge. My own stuff, a mix of Librefox or Waterfox more now, small bits of Firefox and Chrome. It's kinda always a mix though, for different functions.

@jake4480 It's part of KDE, so it does require Linux. I had mostly moved to a combination of the Foxes. I'll still need to use them when I'm on Mac or mobile but for my primary deskop, I'm going to see how just using Konqueror works out. So far, so good. Fewer websites complain about an "outdated/unsupported browser" than just break for default Librefox in my usage.

Let's put it that way. #konqueror is the unknown relative of all the posh browsers. Look up #KHTML and its history please. For KDE folks, it is what we used before dolphin and the other browsers. Back in the day it hat unique features as it was a web and file browser with tabs an kio ... .

Konqueror is still maintained but does not receive big feature updates.

@devSJR @jake4480 I last used it when KDE was new, if that gives you any context. It seems fine to me now, what big features is it missing?

@kevin @jake4480

- extensive extension ecosystem
- local translation
- enhanced tracking protection
- some modern web stuff might not work

This come into my mind. Nothing serious.

But as I implied, it is a good browser, like Falkon is.

@devSJR @jake4480 The lack of tracking protection is my main concern with it.

@kevin @jake4480

In theory, turning off JavaScript means a high level of tracking protection. This would be an approach I see at the moment but I must admit I didn't really bother to find more information about it.

@devSJR No, I haven't. I'll check it out!
