Yes, Google Search. That string is only available from those pages: https://www.kde.org/announcements/beta2announce.php https://www.kde.org/announcements/beta3announce.php https://www.kde.org/announcements/beta4announce.php You can check it yourself by checking out the source of the www website and running grep there: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/www/sites/www/ Maybe it's possible to force Google to change this information, I will ping KDE sysadmins. If you check any other page around on kde.org you will find the correct definition (the one I mentioned before). > > Interesting to notice that one side you don't care about what upstream says > about Plasma and KDE, and on the other side you want to exactly follow what > upstream ships in some of the many products.

It's a browser shipped with KDE Applications.

A browser is unfortunately a really important component of the system nowadays and even talking with upstream won't magically make it appears, even if I really would like it.
