Falkon uses QtWebEngine which uses Chromium under the hood if I"m reading this right. I believe this disqualifies it from what the author's looking for or is there more to it than that?


QtWebEngine uses code from the Chromium project but doesn’t just copy it.

https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine

The browser is developed in the open, accepts community contributions, and doesn’t have any potential financial conflicts that could work against users. It could benefit a lot from more contributions, especially to the Windows and Mac versions, and there are no mobile versions yet. It’s a very capable browser as it is, but if more people joined the project, it could be the best.

Would it be necessary to remove any Chromium code to stay fully open? I wouldn’t say so, but some might disagree.
