About Angelfish

Angelfish is a web browser from KDE built with a touch-friendly interface for Linux phones and tablets, such as those running Plasma Mobile. It covers the usual browser basics: tabs, bookmarks and history.

It is released regularly as part of KDE's application releases, most recently in September 2026, and can be installed through Discover, Flathub or a distribution's package manager. It suits people who want a simple browser that fits a KDE mobile or desktop session rather than a feature-heavy one.

Strengths

  • Touch-friendly interface suited to Linux phones
  • Regular releases alongside KDE Gear
  • Available on Flathub and in distribution repositories

Limitations

  • Basic feature set compared with mainstream browsers
  • Linux only

    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 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.
