Replacements

Listings that take over the same core job as Angelfish.

  • Firefox

    The main browser not built on Chromium, with tracking protection turned on by default.

    FreeOpen sourceWindowsmacOSLinuxAndroidiOS

    Firefox runs on Linux desktops, Android and iOS with strong extension support and containers, but it is not designed around Plasma Mobile's touch interface the way Angelfish is.

  • GNOME Web

    GNOME's browser, built on WebKitGTK, formerly known as Epiphany.

    FreeOpen sourceLinux

    GNOME Web is another Linux-only open-source browser, using WebKitGTK instead of Qt and integrating with the GNOME desktop rather than KDE, with extension support that lags.

  • Falkon

    Lightweight KDE browser built on QtWebEngine.

    FreeOpen sourceWindowsLinux

    Falkon is a KDE browser on QtWebEngine with an ad blocker and password manager enabled out of the box, aimed at desktops and also available on Windows.

  • Konqueror

    KDE's combined web browser and file manager, using Qt WebEngine for pages.

    FreeOpen sourceLinux

    Konqueror stays within KDE and Qt WebEngine but combines browsing with file management and FTP/SFTP, fitting a Plasma desktop better than a touch-first phone.

  • Chromium

    The open-source browser project that Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi are all built from.

    FreeOpen sourceWindowsmacOSLinux

    Chromium gives you the upstream open-source engine packaged by most Linux distributions, with no Google sign-in, but it lacks Widevine DRM in most builds and any KDE integration.

  • Midori

    Lightweight browser with an ad blocker and privacy-focused defaults.

    FreeOpen sourceWindowsLinuxAndroid

    Midori is a lightweight open-source browser with ad blocking and tracking protection enabled by default, available for Linux, Windows and Android, though maintained by a small team.
