QupZilla

QupZilla is a fast open source web browser which uses Qt Framework and its QtWebKit rendering core. It aims to be a lightweight web browser available through all major platforms. This project has been originally started only for educational purposes. But QupZilla has grown into a feature-rich browser.

QupZilla has all standard functions you expect from a web browser. It includes bookmarks, history (both also in sidebar) and tabs. Above that, you can manage RSS feeds with an included RSS reader, block ads with a builtin AdBlock plugin, block Flash content with Click2Flash and edit the local CA Certificates database with an SSL Manager.

QupZilla's main aim is to be a very fast and very stable QtWebKit browser available to everyone. There are already a lot of QtWebKit browsers available, but they are either bound to the KDE environment (rekonq), are not actively developed or very unstable and miss important features. But there is missing a multiplatform, modern and actively developed browser. QupZilla tries to fill this gap by providing a stable browsing experience.

QupZilla consumes less system resources with the major general purpose browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

Features include:

• Very fast startup
• Based on WebKit core and Qt Framework
• Integration of bookmarks, history and rss reader in a single location
• Integrated AdBlock support
• Opera-like Speed Dial home page
• Tabs
• Take screenshots
• Private Browsing mode
• History and Bookmarks Sidebars
• Browser Themes - with themes support, you can easily make your browser look unique
• SSL Certificate Manager - never lets you visit pages with bad certificates without notification
• Search Engines Manager - with OpenSearch support and suggestions
• Internationalization support
