What does integrated with KDE mean? I use Firefox, but cannot imagine any type of integration that I really need.

discuss

Native file pickers, widgets, settings system . Not sure if it also uses the kparts system for handling protocols

* The KDE system for network protocols ist called KIO. KParts is for user interface components. AFAIK, Falkon isn't using KIO because QtWebEngine has no extension points for that (and if it did, somebody would need to write HTTP2 and HTTP3 implementations or Qt wrappers for KIO).

Aren't these just handled with XDG libraries?

With kdeconnect when I have some sound playing in firefox, e.g. a youtube video, I get audio controls directly from my phone. There's a million features, check it out here: https://kdeconnect.kde.org/

I'd like to see the feature of preventing the OS from sleeping before downloading has been finished.

KDE has integration with Firefox/Chromium too, via plasma-browser-integration. You can search browser tabs and history via the KDE menus, and share URLs with KDE via the browser context menu.

Firefox is GTK-based. With all its UI garbage like disappearing menus, CANCEL-OK dialogs (normal for Mac users), disrespect for system themes/styles/fonts, etc.

I also started using Falkon, but it still lacks too much for me, unfortuantely. And I wish it could import all history too. (

Download and media playback integrated with the taskbar, mostly

That works with FF as well.

Media through a standard MPRIS implementation, and downloads through.. I don't know what the system is called, but it works
