rekonq is a web browser for kde based on webkit. it first focuses on being a light, fast & clean way to access to net. its development is doubly based on using the new amazing features offered by the webkit rendering engine and on the rock solid network kde technologies.

features

adblock rekonq comes with an automatic subscription to the easylist filter, which is updated every week. additionally, you can set up manual filters to block loading of elements from webpages that match your criteria. you can even download and import additional published filterlists or export your list for backup.

feeds from websites can be saved to akregator

autoload/clicktoload pluginsone of the benefits of using the webkit engine, is that plugins can be disabled from automatically loading. this comes in handy to surf websites fast, without being bogged down by flash plugins. in the socalled clicktoload mode, you will instead see a button that you can click on to activate the plugin.

bookmarks editorbookmarks, web shortcuts, cookies and authentication information are shared with konqueror. you will see the same set of bookmarks from either application and you can log onto a website in konqueror and carry on seamlessly if you decide to switch to rekonq. your passwords are stored securely in kwallet and can be used from either konqueror or rekonq.

embedded applicationsrekonq plays well with other applications in the kde family. rekonq will always use your chosen default applications to handle file types. pdf files, for example will open in an embedded okular kpart within rekonq itself. media files will open in dragon player (or any other designated default application for that filetype).

ftp support through kiorekonq supports kio services, including cookies, cache, proxies and network settings. kioslaves like file:/, ftp:/, man:/, help:/, info:/ etc will work in rekonq, too.
