In my prior post, I included chromium in the list of browser candidates.  If 
you're not familiar with it, it is essentially a free version of google 
chrome that recently made it's way into fedora package repositories.

Advantages and features include:
* based on same rendering engine as qtwebengine (that qupzilla uses)
* has active, well-supported upstream
* some kde integration: kde file dialogs, kwallet for secrets
* supports most chrome addons/extensions

Disadvantages include:
* pretty new to fedora (only a few weeks)
* packaging/buildsystem is... messy and fragile (not unique here, 
qtwebengine suffers similarly but less so)
* not 100% native (like qupzilla)

I think many people are casting here their personal preferences instead of focusing on what should be the real point: what's the browser between Firefox, Chromium and Qupzilla that really integrates in KDE and requires the less dependencies being installed over a clean KDE spin installation?

I think the right choice between them must not force the installation of other requirements but the main QT / KF5 components. Personal considerations about missing functions should not be thrown in the discussion: if someone prefer one browser to another can easily install it over the main installation.

Trying to install Qupzilla and Chromium on my workstation (which is *not* a clean KDE installation and I already have Firefox installed, so probably I already have many GTK stuff installed that is required by Chromium), gives me:

Given these outputs I vote for Qupzilla because it does not require GTK stuff and it weights less than a half compared to Chromium (I'm thinking to live images).
