rekonq is a lightweight, QtWebKit-based web browser developed inside the free software project KDE. It is the default web browser in Kubuntu 10.10[5][6] and Chakra GNU/Linux.[7][8] rekonq has been officially included into KDE Extragear on May 25, 2010.[9] In contrast to Konqueror, which has been KDE's main web browser for years, rekonq aims to be a standalone and simple web browser. Its code was initially based on Qt Development Frameworks' QtDemoBrowser and currently is developed on KDE Projects' Git repository.[10]

- Tabbed browsing
- Unique loading address bar
- Ad blocker
- Support for plugins (Flash, Java)

rekonq uses the WebKit HTML rendering engine.
