I'm a subscriber of your blog, using the Atom feed.

I consider myself as end-user, so I'd argue on this.
What could Falkon AdBlock be missing?

The only feature I'm missing is uMatrix, and pretty much anything else
is available as a form of a bookmarklet and userscript.

Though, it would be good to establish a channel (forum), dedicated for
extension porting to Falkon, for contributors to join.

QML seems to be good for building GUI, inside and outside Falkon.
