Is there any comprehensive migration guide for falkon? With the shakes in the browser market, I, like many other users, have been looking for alternatives that work better. Falkon is a great option with plasma integration. However, some challenges arise that end up not facilitating a transition. would you have some comprehensive transition guide that covers aspects such as:

- Making the ad blocker even more robust and functional, at the level of uBO or higher;
- Make ad blocker undetectable, such as uBO or higher;
- Migration of data from other browsers such as Firefox, including browsing history, bookmarks; Importing passwords asks for an XML file, but Firefox exports the passwords in another format. How can I solve this without the risk of losing the passwords?
- How to enable HW acceleration and check if hardware acceleration is working well? On sites like YouTube.
- speaking of YouTube, how to activate picture-in-picture?
- other browsers, when opened for the first time, show the option to import data from other browsers, something similar does not happen with falkon.

Anyway, I believe there are still more aspects to be covered in this guide, but these should be enough to make the Falkon experience a little easier and more functional.

Hi - I’m not aware of one, but if there’s interest, it sounds like a good opportunity to contribute through documentation: [Get Involved/documentation - KDE Community Wiki](https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/documentation) 🙂
