Recent releases of #Mozilla #Firefox have improved quite a bit, but Firefox on #Linux still lacks hardware video acceleration/decoding. So be prepared to burn your CPU and battery while watching videos. #webbrowsers

人間失格 (dazai@mstdn.io)'s status on Monday, 24-Sep-2018 21:56:01 UTC 人間失格 Turns out, #Falkon is the second life of #QupZilla. It's a #KDE web browser using #QtWebEngine rendering engine.
"Since version 3.0, QupZilla is no longer developed and new version are released with Falkon name as a KDE project."

人間失格 (dazai@mstdn.io)'s status on Tuesday, 25-Sep-2018 02:59:23 UTC 人間失格 My 2¢ after playing with #Falkon for a little bit:
1. Falkon might be more resource-efficient on a Qt-based desktop than others -- or if you run a lot of Qt apps in general, particularly those that make use of #QtWebEngine.
2. Falkon's tracking protection is a bit limited, but at least it doesn't phone home out of the box -- which is a problem that both #Chrome and #Firefox have, though you can at least disable this in Firefox.
