Falkon 25.04 In the release of Falkon 25.04.0 is a feature to show the bookmark or history item address in the statusbar when the mouse hovers over the item (in menu, toolbar, sidebar). I thought I tested everything, but I did not. I did not test the folders in the bookmark toolbar. Before the release, there was a bug report was this exact issue, which I thought I resolved, but I only resolved a part of it.

A little while ago I worked more on my little script to extract and expand the global symbols from an ELF file with debug (DWARF) informations. I keep it in my head all the time, so… Here are the changes and some explanation for them.

I took the Qt WebEngine survey since I work with Qt WebEngine when I work on Falkon. The questions were at times well made and at times made from a corporate perspective when Free Open Source Software development model together with software distribution through the repositories of all the different Linux distributions was totally forgotten. I write this little note here because I took the survey from the development mailing list and found these options missing. How am I suppose to answer when the answer is not there and only supported answer is what is probably directly supported by Qt Company itself?

At the end of the year I ordered an Akko keyboard “5108 B” 100% keyboard. It arrived with 3 weeks despite it being end of the year (top season for delivery guys). The keyboard was in 50% diascount and with free shipping, so I only paid around 70€ for it. I consider this a steam since keyboards with similar features cost easily around 200€ (check the Ducky keyboards of which I think Akko is a clone).

In the Qt5 it was not easily possible to block the new (popup) window request because the function “createWindow” which handles the window creation did not provide the required information (destination URL). It was not imposibble but not straightforward either, so it was not implemented. It Qt6.2 there is a new signel “newWindowRequested” which provides the destination url and also if the request was initiated by human or not. This is ideal for selective blocking of the window creation, eg. popup blocking in AdBlock.
