In short yes, Falkon stands on its own. Depending on the platform/
oiperating system. On most of the Linux distributions Falkon uses system 
libraries, so saying strictly this library is needed only for Falkon is 
hard unless you use snap or flatpak.

I do not know what is "idenity" (identity?) in this content. If you mean 
system user profiles than I do not know, on Linux distributions I tried 
programs are installed globally in the system (I have no experience with 
snaps or flatpaks). I remember seeing that Google Chrome on Microsoft 
Windows installs into user profile instead of a system folder (I call 
this cheating). Falkon supports running multiple instances with multiple 
profiles at the same time, but extra options need to be added to the 
executablke. For example:
> falkon -r -p my_new_profile

On currently unsupported platforms such as Microsoft Windows and Apple 
devices I have no idea how it works / worked there.
