Falkon: Development Update, Oct 2022

Weird news from development of Falkon web browser.

Development: Site Settings

At the start of the month I did something and I already forgot what it was (very sad) and than I took a “short” break for a week which turned out ot be for a whole month due to other reasons.

Extensions

During this break I worked on two QML extensions Cookies.txt and Readability. The Cookies.txt is in a way me trying to understand how to work with cookies from within QML extension in order to write a proper tutorial for it. The Readability was done on a request and because I thought it can be somehow hacked with QML. This took a bit longer than I expected, but it is nice to have.

Conclusion

I learnt quite a lot this month, just from this point it was a good month.
