I liked it a lot back in the days when setting up the X Windows System on a CRT and it wasn't working yet. I still fire it up from time to time for local web pages; it's not too useful for most of today's severely bloated web sites.

I use Firefox mostly but i'm really enjoying falcon as my secondary browser for when i need scripts so i voted for it this year. I also liked Rekonq before it was discontinued. Konqueror is the only KDE browser i could never take to and it's still gaining support. I never used KDE in the 3.* days however so maybe there's some nostagia i'm missing. I did try Trinity way back and i didn't mind it to be honest. I liked the Windows 95 feel that it had including the mass customisation of random things such as changing the backgrounds of directories within the the file browser which was Konqueror. I didn't mind Konqueror in Trinity but alas it made a terrible web browser. In a leap to hang on to Trinity because i actually did like Windows 95 i swapped out Konqueror for the Plasma 4 version in hopes that it'd offer the same experience but with an improved Web browsing experience. I was disappointed. I left Trinity because i found my self replacing more and more parts with KDE4 substitutes. The mess i made was clunky and eventually i just went back to KDE4... I use KDE5 now. Computers aren't a profession to me and are just a hobby, and the interest was much more adamant a few years back. These days i'm not interested in learning too much more (although distributions like Crux and NuTyX i find very interesting and want to try but i'm too unmotivated) and just use what i know. I use KDE5. I know how to configure it to my liking and it runs smoothly after that. I like it.

Sorry for the life story. Yes I like Falcon and think the KDE team has done a stellar job.

Opera is still my default browser, but Vivaldi keeps surprising me with the speed that Opera used to excel in and still have all the sites functioning without the requirements of a Windows VM to visit sites that are maintained by braindead Microsoft addicts.
Then try running Opera-stable in the current flagship 'Puppy'; Bionicpup64. Give my self-contained 'Opera-portable' a try.....and see if you think the speed's still there.

I'm sad that luakit hasn't been added. Is there a reason why?

I use Palemoon generally. I also have slimjet for it's incognito abilities. The tor browser is still useful too.

Deendeen1, I don't know if you realize that your registration date and number of posts (2) shows in a box to the left of your response. I'm mentioning this to let others know besides yourself- If you create a new account just to promote your voting choice, it doesn't look good. I can't say I'm much of a contributor. I think I have 4 posts, guess I only registered under this name in 2018, but I might describe using Netscape Navigator on AOL, or Mosiac broswer on TheWorldSTD, give some sort of context for "I've used Firefox forever". Or specify "I use Chrome on Android and alternate between Chrome and Chromium on MXLinux." Whatever. I'd just like to see a certain standard of useable information in the posts here, that's all.

I think if you tried Vivaldi in Linux, you'd be quite surprised how much smoother and more stable it is. Windows ports of the various Chromium-based 'clones' have always been 'glitchy' - blame M$ for their crappy file-system layout and over-bearing 'nosiness'.

Mike.
To be fair, a year ago, on linux or windows, Vivaldi was just incredibly glitchy.
