rekonq was a lightweight, QtWebKit-based web browser developed inside the free software project KDE. It is the default web browser of Chakra GNU/Linux,[5] and was formerly of Kubuntu (between versions 10.10[6] and 13.10[7]). rekonq has been officially included in KDE Extragear since 25 May 2010.[8] In contrast to Konqueror, a web browser and file manager also developed by KDE, rekonq aims to be a standalone and simple web browser. Its code was initially based on Qt Development Frameworks' QtDemoBrowser and is developed on KDE Projects' Git repository.[9]
As of January 2014, there has been no further development of rekonq, and there is no manpower or sponsorship to restart development.[10]
