I've mentioned this in the internal issue tracker for Falkon, so closing this one and the downstream issues that have been fixed by editing the package description.

Note that the description that **this** bug refers to, comes ultimately from the Appdata for Falkon, so there's a mismatch between discoverable features and what's listed in Appdata.
