Yes, however people (myself in particular) become dependent on certain extensions:
Lastpass, Prime Player, Checker Plus, just to name a few. The unfortunate reality is
unless projects adopt the chrome extension model (as Firefox is doing) not many are
going to be available.
That said, it really just depends on what is the criteria for the Fedora KDE default web
browser. If Qt based is a criteria, I would tend to agree that one would have a very
difficult time arguing against QupZilla. If it weren't for the extension issue, I would use
it over Chrome/Chromium. It has many nice features... and bizarrely enough it actually
uses Pepper Flash from Chrome if you have Chrome installed --- (which is required for Google Music
for some weird reason). That was a pleasant surprise it worked automagically. The integrated speed dial
and adblock are also nice. As far as speed, it seems much faster than Firefox, especially at
startup. My firefox seems to just hang there for a few moments. Don't have that issue with
Chrome/Chromium or QupZilla.
