You could also get 0patch to keep it secure. They're adopting Windows 10 for security updated from the EOL date. Pretty reasonable price as well, around 30 euros per year.
Writing and maintaining a state-of-art browser engine is hard. Using an existent one is best choice unless you don't care about people actually using your browser or they're fine with accessing a part of the web.

I know. And the KDE team would know too, having tried (and succeeded at the time! but could not keep up)

Why so dismissive?
Blink is not the only existing browser engine that works with most of the Web.
I'm not arguing for Falkon authors to build their own engine. That would be fantastic, but I understand they don't. I also understand their choice to use what Qt provides. Embedding another browser engine would be less straightforward or even outright painful / impossible (Gecko). Still, I don't want to strengthen Chrome dominance on the Web.
I was having a twitter argument the other day with someone who maintained that they never really come across any Microsoft systems in their work and who would be crazy enough to use Windows Server. I've worked in orgs from 100 people to 10,000 and it's always Active Directory and MS all the way through with odd few Ubuntu or RHEL servers for a internal application.
The only Windows systems I've seen in over 15 years were to run Active Directory over 10 year ago (and not since), my personal gaming desktop (which no longer runs Windows) and GitHub runners for cross compilation.
There's plenty of Microsoft out there, but there's an entire, thriving universe where Microsoft is completely irrelevant.
My main issue is still app notifications in the panel. IF I'm running a syning app like Insync. I want to have the app notifier in the system tray so I can see the status without having to check the service manually to see if its running.
