As Qupzilla is now Falkon and part of KDE, will Falkon be in BLFS? I see
only QupZilla in the development documentation.

I ask this mostly from curiosity.  I realize things take time.

It will (for both KDE and the general case - I still haven't
explored exactly how the instructions will differ).

Details are in the ticket (no graphical browser on this new system
at the moment), but it is waiting on kdewebengine-5.11.1 which might
be released tomorrow (your timezone, maybe not mine). the reason
for that is that last week's firefox stable update led me to a whole
raft of CVE vulnerabilities in chromium, and thus in qtwebengine.

And because I care about security, I'm reluctant to get even more
people using falkon when the underlying qtwebengine is unpatched.
Note: I saw there was an update for qtwebengine-5.9 recently (long
term stable), but after looking at the git branch I'm fairly sure
that does NOT have hte new fixes - qt seems to have a big delay
between getting things ready for release and the actual release, and
point or sub-point releases for vulnerability fixes do not seem to
happen.

Ooh, my firefox build on this new system has now completed (rustc
held me up for about two days), so I can point you to the ticket.
Progress ;-)

Details for falkon in http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/10437

And if anybody cares about chromium, the version in the book is
vulnerable but I cannot get the new version to use my certificates
(i.e. itgenerally fails on https, but hangs after producing some
results if I search at google). Quite apart from widevine which may
or may not work (I have no way of testing that).

Details for that at http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/10495

I'm pretty sure that Ken is investigating this, but I am leaning towards
just dropping QupZilla and not replacing it with anything. We have
enough browsers in the book without it.
