Again, QupZilla is not KDE software.
But it uses the same technologies that official KDE software uses.
Not everything Qt based is KDE software, and not everything from KDE
is
good enough, they just don't make every type of software,
And this is where third-party Qt/KDE software such as QupZilla steps in.
Konqueror is using deprecated component, QtWebkit, nobody can
guarantee
that QtWebEngine will continue being supported and improved, will Qt
deprecate it like QtWebKit? Nobody knows.
Will Mozilla deprecate Firefox like Firefox OS? Or force the community to
maintain it like SeaMonkey and Thunderbird? Nobody knows.
As for GTK dependencies, they were in the spin before Firefox was
added,
for some management tools.
Firefox dragged in some additional non-KDE dependencies.
And IMHO, the other stuff using GTK+ is also a problem, not a reason to
blanket-allow all GTK+ software. (E.g., I would really like to see Calamares
replace Anaconda on the KDE Spin!)
I wish Qupzilla developers luck, I thank them for their efforts, but
I
believe that without supporting extensions (widely used ones, like Chrome
extensions), this will not go far, rekonq made me hope, they once stated
they will support them, then it all vanished.
I don't think it is reasonable to expect browser developers to play catch up
with some other browser's proprietary extension format.
I think Fedora KDE spin should aim to be the best OS (it might
already
be), not just as a showcase of "only" KDE software.
Becoming the best OS means we need to get rid of the software whose
look&feel sticks out like a sore thumb.
