Hello,
QUESTION
I'd like to know whether it's planned to add a new UI mode for Falkon.
There's a discussion on this topic at the postmarketOS community. See
link below.
NOTES
By the nature of postmarketOS, Droidian and similar projects, I tend
to believe that Falkon has a great chance of becoming the default web
browser on two variants of postmarketOS (Phosh & SXMO), because:
Falkon doesn't have a dedicated server to track and monitize user data.
Falkon doesn't actively violating user's privacy by default.
Falkon is faster, lightweight and consumes lesser machine power.
Falkon has no annoying graphics that appear all over its UI.
Falkon (or its browser engine) works very well on touch displays, from
my personal experience.
Hence, I believe Falkon has a great chance of becoming a default web
browser, namely on SXMO which is the variant that most of the
developers of postmarkteOS and other proffessionals seem to prefer.
ABOUT
