About Konqueror
Konqueror is KDE's web browser and all-purpose file manager. It renders web pages with Qt WebEngine and manages local files with most of Dolphin's features, including version-control integration and service menus. It also works as a full FTP and SFTP client with split views showing local and remote folders side by side.
Embedded viewers such as Okular, Gwenview and KTextEditor preview files inside the window, and plugins add features like ad blocking. It is released on KDE's regular schedule.
