Hello!

Once there war konqueror ... then there was rekonq ... and next?

I've downloaded and archived a selection of websites as zipped folders. KIO-slaves were the ideal answer to me for browsing those offline-pages as if still connected (only frozen in time). But now rekonq was dropped out of Kubuntu LTS.

Please tell me, there is some alternative capable of browsing html from within a zip archive without extracting it first. For now opening the zip in Dolphin and clicking on the html won't do, as it extracts the naked html to the temp-directory and shows it in firefox without pictures / css / javascript. The idea of zipping those folders was to keep them together as well as protecting them from inadvertent changes. In addition the size reduction is most welcome and I became quite dependent on.

Thanks
Holger

Konqueror should still be available (despite being ill-maintained was never dropped and did get updated to qt5/kf5).

There's also Falkon (originally Qupzilla) which moved into the KDE umbrella earlier this year and is expected to become the new default browser for KDE.
