rekonq is a lightweight, QtWebKit-based web browser developed inside the free software project KDE. It is the default web browser of Chakra GNU/Linux,[6] and was formerly of Kubuntu (between versions 10.10[7] and 13.10[8]). rekonq has been officially included in KDE Extragear since May 25, 2010.[9] In contrast to Konqueror, a web browser and file manager also developed by KDE, rekonq aims to be a standalone and simple web browser. Its code was initially based on Qt Development Frameworks' QtDemoBrowser and is developed on KDE Projects' Git repository.[10]

As of January 2014 there has been no further development of rekonq, and there is no manpower or sponsorship to restart.[11]

Features

rekonq integrates into the KDE desktop, e.g. downloading files through KDE download system, sharing bookmarks with Konqueror, KIO support, etc. rekonq possesses most of the features of a modern web browser, specifically:

rekonq uses the WebKit HTML rendering engine provided in QtWebKit.
