### Falkon：适用于 Linux（和 Windows）的开源 Web 浏览器


![](/data/attachment/album/201912/31/104800t18mzzoqwoipibgp.jpg)


首先，[Falkon](https://www.falkon.org/) 并不是一款新的 Web 浏览器。它自 2010 年以来一直在开发中，但被称为 Qupzilla。2017 年，QupZilla 移到 KDE 旗下，并更名为 Falkon。处于 KDE 旗下意味着项目会按照 KDE 标准积极维护。


它使用 [QtWebEngine](https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine) 渲染引擎，这是 Chromium 核心的简化版本。


在本文中，我将仔细研究它提供的功能以及与 Linux 上其他主流 Web 浏览器的不同之处。


### Falkon 浏览器的功能


我认为它可能不是流行的浏览器，但我发现它足以浏览现代 Web 服务。让我重点介绍 Falkon 的主要功能，如果你觉得它很有趣，请尝试一下。


#### 简单的用户界面

我知道这不完全是一项“功能”，但是用户体验（UX）至关重要。尽管是轻量级的浏览器，但你会拥有一个不错的界面。你不会觉得使用的是一款源自 2000 年早期的浏览器。


#### AdBlock 扩展


![](/data/attachment/album/201912/31/104812pllzmh6hsth6s6ds.jpg)


它附带了 AdBlock 扩展程序，如果你想在浏览网站时摆脱广告，它的效果很好。你还可以自定义 AdBlock 扩展的行为。


#### DuckDuckGo 作为默认搜索引擎


如果你不喜欢使用 Google，那么这是一件好事，它将这个[主打隐私的搜索引擎](https://itsfoss.com/privacy-search-engines/)设为默认搜索引擎。


#### 会话管理器


![](/data/attachment/album/201912/31/104812hss4c7410iqf6t6i.jpg)


Falkon 在浏览器菜单的可用选项中包含了一个有用的会话管理器。你可以用它还原特定的近期会话，这应该能派上用场。


#### 扩展支持


![](/data/attachment/album/201912/31/104814lyzzadpqj49hyldj.png)


它确实支持添加扩展，但你不能从 Chrome/Firefox 插件市场添加扩展。你只能选择有限的一组扩展。


#### 主题支持


Falkon 还允许你在某种程度上自定义外观。如果要更改浏览器的外观，可以尝试一下。

#### 其他基本设置


![](/data/attachment/album/201912/31/104818t7ljpqy3fmjm7jml.png)


我还尝试了其他设置/功能，例如添加书签或管理密码。或者，管理网页的通知。我还试了 YouTube，没有任何问题。


当然，这不是一个详尽的评测。但是，Falkon 确实拥有浏览器中需要的所有基本功能（除非你有特定要求）。


### 安装 Falkon 浏览器


你可以在软件中心轻松找到 Falkon 浏览器。如果没有，你可以从它的[官方下载页面](https://www.falkon.org/download/)中找到 Flatpak/Snap 包。你还可以在下载页面上找到 Windows 的安装程序。


[Download Falkon Browser](https://www.falkon.org/download/)


### 总结


作为 KDE 产品，Falkon 是为 KDE 桌面环境量身定制的。一些 KDE 发行版（例如 OpenMandriva）使用 Falkon 作为默认的 Web 浏览器。


Falkon 浏览器适合那些正在寻求轻巧且功能丰富的 Web 浏览器的人。值得尝试的另一个替代是 [Midori](https://itsfoss.com/midori-browser/)。


我认为，除非你需要大量的扩展、跨平台同步并且需要访问某些特定于浏览器的网站，不然它是一个很好的替代浏览器。


你如何看待 Falkon 浏览器？请在下面的评论中让我知道你的想法。

OK
*Formerly known as Qupzilla, Falkon is a web browser based on QtWebEngine. In this week’s App Highlight, we take a look at this open source software.*

## Falkon: Open Source Web Browser for Linux (and Windows)

![Falkon Browser Screenshot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/12/falkon-browser-screenshot.jpg)

First thing first, [Falkon](https://www.falkon.org/) is not a new web browser. It has been in development since 2010 but it was known as Qupzilla.

In 2017, QupZilla moved under KDE umbrella and changed its name to Falkon. Being under KDE umbrella means that project is actively maintained following KDE standards.

It uses the [QtWebEngine](https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine) rendering engine – which is a striped down version of Chromium core.

In this article, I shall take a closer look at what it offers and how it’s different than other dominant web browsers on Linux out there.

## Features of Falkon Browser

Thought it may not be a [popular browser for Linux](https://itsfoss.com/best-browsers-ubuntu-linux/) yet, I did find it capable enough to browse modern web services.

Let me highlight the key features of Falkon and if you find it interesting enough, give it a try.

### Simple User Interface

![Falkon Browser](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/12/falkon-browser.png)

I know it’s not exactly a “feature” but the user experience (UX) matters a lot. Despite being a lightweight browser, you have a decent looking interface here. You won’t feel like you are using a browser from the early 2000’s.

### AdBlock Extension

![Falkon Adblock](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/12/falkon-adblock.jpg)

It comes packed in with the AdBlock extension that works pretty well if you want to get rid of the advertisements while browsing a website. You can also customize the behavior of the AdBlock extension.

### DuckDuckGo Default Search Engine

It’s a good thing to have one of the [privacy-oriented search engines](https://itsfoss.com/privacy-search-engines/) as the default search engine if you do not like using Google.

### Session Manager

![Session Manager Falkon](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/12/session-manager-falkon.jpg)

Falkon includes a useful session manager from the available options in the browser menu. You can restore a specific recent session using this – which should come in handy.

### Extension Support

![Falkon Browser Extensions](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/12/falkon-browser-extensions.png)

It does support adding extensions but you cannot add extensions from Chrome/Firefox add-on marketplace. You have a limited set of extensions to choose from.

### Theme Support

Falkon also lets you customize the appearance to some extent. You can try them out if you want to change the appearance of the browser.

### Other Essential Settings

![Falkon Browser Preference](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/12/falkon-browser-preference.png)

I also explored other settings/functionalities like adding a bookmark or being able to manage the passwords.

Or, maybe manage the notification access of a webpage.

Oh, I also tried using YouTube – with no problems whatsoever.

Of course, this isn’t an extensive review – but yes, Falkon does have all the essential options that you will need in a browser (unless you have a specific requirements).

## Installing Falkon Browser

You can easily find Falkon browser available in your Software Center.

In case you don’t, you can find Flatpak/Snap packages available from its [official download page](https://www.falkon.org/download/). You’ll also find Windows installer files on the download page.

**Wrapping Up**

As a KDE product, Falkon is tailored for KDE desktop environment. Some KDE distributions like OpenMandriva use Falkon as the default web browser.

Falkon browser is for the ones looking for a lightweight and feature-rich web browser. An alternative worth taking a look is [Midori](https://itsfoss.com/midori-browser/).

In my opinion, it is a good alternative browser – unless you need tons of extensions, cross-platform synchronization and require to access some browser-specific websites.
