Konqueror

Konqueror is a <a href="/facts/Free_and_open-source_software/1cHtjLCB">free and open-source</a> <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">web browser</a> and <a href="/facts/File_manager/t7CSQ40a">file manager</a> that provides <a href="/facts/World_Wide_Web/wvnTrWFq">web</a> access and <a href="/facts/File_viewer/H7CWQ3EH">file-viewer</a> functionality for file systems (such as local files, files on a remote FTP server and files in a disk image). It forms a core part of the <a href="/facts/KDE_Software_Compilation/m2RkR89F">KDE Software Compilation</a>. Developed by volunteers, Konqueror can run on most <a href="/facts/Unix-like/YAKrAxzd">Unix-like</a> <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating systems</a>. The <a href="/facts/KDE/PCh32IWA">KDE</a> community licenses and distributes Konqueror under <a href="/facts/GNU_General_Public_License/S75KhLSX">GNU GPL-2.0-or-later</a>.
The name "Konqueror" references the two primary competitors at the time of the browser's first release: "first comes the <a href="/facts/Netscape_Navigator/f9m231Wp">Navigator</a>, then <a href="/facts/Internet_Explorer/uL8a4Y5l">Explorer</a>, and then the Konqueror".
It also follows the <a href="/facts/KDE/PCh32IWA">KDE</a> naming convention: the names of most KDE programs begin with the letter K.
Konqueror first appeared with version 2 of KDE on October 23, 2000. It replaced its predecessor, KFM (KDE file manager). With the release of KDE 4 in 2008, the functionalities of web browser and file manager were separated: <a href="/facts/Dolphin_(file_manager)/dlFn7brb">Dolphin</a> replaced Konqueror as the default KDE file manager, while the KDE community continues to maintain Konqueror as the default KDE web browser.
