My little blog is an oddball, I do not intend to have any reader there. 
It is made purely for me.

Most people install Falkon from repositories and never ever visit its 
website. Only people using weird operating systems without the 
repositories havr to search for weird websites to download programs 
from.

Falkon has outdated AdVlock-er, so many will quickly leave. While Falkon 
does not try to leak data to web on its own, this one missing feature is 
very important for many and the main reason why people do not use Falkon 
that much these days.
