Cons
Con Text-based only
Lynx is a text-based only web browser and it's the oldest browser still in use. Being text-only, it's not very useful anymore outside some niche use cases.
Con Weak multimedia support
It has some issues with multimedia content eg. Non-playing videos on webpages.
Con Now under the KDE umbrella
Qupzilla is now discontinued and renamed to Falkon. It will also now be a part of KDE and will probably need more dependencies like kde-frameworks in the future.
Con Linux-only
Con Bookmark management not the strongest part
It often requires quite a lot of clicks to add and remove bookmarks.
