If Apple was going to deal with Pear OS it most likely would have gone through its lawyers instead of acting through clever subterfuge by posing as another company. Apple has been known to do just that in years past when it wanted to negotiate for something without having its real identity known.īut I doubt this very much since Pear OS didn't seem to have anything Apple would actually need. Were not going to lie, Falkon is a bit underwhelming, especially when compared to the modern powerhouses that rule the web browser marketshare. Not the best browser out there, but definitely not the worst either. This meant two things: a name change and new KDE development standards. Was Apple involved in any way with the death of Pear OS? The conspiracy-minded among us probably think that might be a real possibility, particularly if Apple acted behind the scenes via a shell company. In 2017, QupZilla moved under the KDE umbrella. Being under KDE umbrella means that project is actively maintained following KDE standards. In 2017, QupZilla moved under KDE umbrella and changed its name to Falkon. It has been in development since 2010 but it was known as Qupzilla.
Apple is not known for being tolerant if they think their intellectual property rights have been violated. Falkon: Open Source Web Browser for Linux (and Windows) First thing first, Falkon is not a new web browser. When I did my review of Pear OS 8, I wondered if Apple would ever go after the developer for trademark violations since it closely resembles some of Apple's products. The developer mentions that it was bought by another company but doesn't say who nor does he give specific reasons on why they purchased it. The issue of who is behind the death of Pear OS is quite intriguing.
