![]() The default Speed Dial wallpaper is dull, ugly, unpleasant.Falkon comes with 4 search engines- DuckDuckGo, StartPage, Wikipedia (en) and Google, more can be added manually.Falkon was unable to play videos from certain websites ( Dailymotion, LiveLeak, etc) even though "Allow Pepper Plugins (Flash plugin)" was enabled- Falkon either could not play the videos or started downloading them, it seems that Pepper Plugin should be installed separately.Playing YouTube videos was also choppy.Opening pop-up windows from live score sites ( example) was choppy.Falkon comes bundled with only 3 themes and the only one I find usable is Mac theme.Falkon offers more customization than the two big enemies of the internet- Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, for example "Tabs on Top" can be easily disabled from "View" menu. ![]() The extensions it comes bundled with are scarce- as of version 3.0.0 there are only 10.Importing bookmarks from HTML file generated by Firefox was smooth.I was able to integrate Falkon with an external download manager using program preferences.Falkon is relatively very light- with 6 tabs open it used about 70-110 MB of RAM (I suppose the 圆4 version would use more RAM), when I opened a video (YouTube) RAM usage skyrockets to 250+ MB.I did a brief test of Falkon version 3.0.0 (released on ), I chose the x32 version no matter that I am on 圆4 system, several observations: There will be no more QupZilla releases, please switch to Falkon. You could add a comment to one of the requests for it and see if we can generate interest. It also causes the download package to wind up a bit larger because original EXE/DLL -> LZMA installer compresses better than original EXE/DLL -> UPX -> LZMA installer.Īs for Gajim, there was a Dev Test of it back in 2008 of a user that is no longer active. It causes launches to take a fraction of a second more and the app itself to consume a small percentage more RAM while running. I browsed PortableApps instant messaging category and I saw there was no Jabber-only client in the list.ĪppCompactor isn't really intended for bloat. In fact I know that it can be run in portable mode using specific parameters but somehow I failed. I suggest that you release a portable version of Gajim, which is a straight Jabber client that can be extended via plug-ins. I haven't tested QupZilla version 2.0.0 yet, so I can't say whether it is better or worse but I am suspicious- once Opera developers were also trying to convince the users how great switching from Presto to Blink would be. I have 2x1TB internal drives and several external ones, space is not an issue for me, it is just I don't like bloat.
