I presume you mean QtWebEngine, since Falkon is fully based on that.
But all settings for both are here:
https://github.com/KaOSx
https://github.com/KaOSx/main/blob/master/qtwebengine/PKGBUILD
https://github.com/KaOSx/apps/blob/master/falkon/PKGBUILD
How is Falcon configured?
demm added the UserspaceGeneral Linux Discussions tags and removed the General Info and Discussions tags .
demm I heard that QtWebEngine is also based on chromium. So there is a huge problem with chromium itself on my hardware.
Since I am not an expert on reading code at all, how have you guys modified Falkon? Did you guys modify Falkon or did you use different configurations or something?
unix21311 QtWebEngine is also based on chromium
Yes, Qt devs take a chromium snapshot (GTK based) and convert it to Qt, Current version 5.14.1 is based on Chromium 77:
https://github.com/qt/qtwebengine/blob/5.14.1/tools/scripts/version_resolver.py#L41
Falkon is only modified to set KaOS related bookmarks and start page, but again, Falkon is just a frontend to QtWebengine.
demm I have Intel HD graphics card, do you know how to solve chromium issues with i915 so that chromium runs smoothly. I have used a few distros, all of them have the same issue with a chromium based browser, including Atom and Falkon as well?

There is no hardware acceleration in chromium on Linux. That's the only explanation of excessive CPU use, compared to using on Windows.
demm Its any Linux distro, it doesn't matter if it is Debian based or Arch based. All are the same.
mendez Its already enabled. Its taking way too much excessive CPU.
I have already enabled certain things which has imrpoved the performance, however it still uses the same amount of high processing power and therefore it is still laggy.
This is what is enabled.

I highly doubt it. For hardware acceleration, you would need patched chromium.
You still haven't revealed your Intel card generation.
unix21311 doesn't matter if it is Debian based or Arch based
KaOS is neither Debian or Arch based, it is fully independent.
Chromium is not in the KaOS repositories.
The question this topic was about, how Falkon and QtWebEngine are configured in KaOS was answered in the second post.
Now this thread is regression into debugging an application not available here on some distribution other then KaOS. This forum is not the place for that.
Open a new topic under Technical issues, if you have questions about running Falkon under KaOS.
Closing.
demm locked the discussion .
