About QupZilla
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
QupZilla is a new and very fast QtWebKit browser. It aims to be a lightweight web browser
|
|
available through all major platforms. This project has been originally started only
|
|
for educational purposes. But from its start, 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
|
|
is trying to fill this gap by providing a very stable browsing experience.

History
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The very first version of QupZilla has been released in Decemeber 2010 and it was written
|
|
in Python with PyQt4 bindings. After a few versions, QupZilla has been completely rewritten
|
|
in C++ with the Qt Framework. The Windows version of QupZilla was compiled using MingW, but due to
|
|
a huge problem with Flash, it is now compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 2008.
|
|
First public release was 1.0.0-b4.
