Good to know, my understanding was you found falkon not usable, I must have read it incorrectly. PDF problem, seems to be a missing tool for falkon (https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/9swk1h/pdf_reader_extension_for_falkon/)
The only weakness, seems to be, certificates, while falkon is able to handle them nicely, I was not able to find a way to manage/display certificate contents. Caution: On a GeForce GT 710, falkon crash as soon trying to display an URL, It was needed to implement the last proprietary Nvidia driver (standard "Nvidia-....run" procedure). For other (more recent nvidia card) falkon is working fine.I refuse to touch nvidia drivers, and after my experience with nouveau on a GT710 (worked fine if Xorg not used, e.g. for a server, disastrous for crashing if Xorg in use) and from reading reports about the problems of using current nvidia cards with nouveau, I will not again use nvidia cards on a desktop machine.
I was providing "pure data". The implication is the nouveau driver was not working A_One for "old" card as GT 710. I found no trouble with the nouveau driver (from LFS) with other nvidia card I have here. ATI cards seem to be working fine too. It is my understanding nvidia card are pretty common, so my comment was rather to help someone using an, old and on the side, PC to do some tests (sharing finding, this is the whole purpose of a mailing list).
