About QupZilla
QupZilla is a new, very fast QtWebKit browser. It aims to be lightweight web browser available through all major platforms. This project has been originally started only for educational purposes, but from its start, QupZilla grown into a rich feature browser.
QupZilla has all standard functions you expect from web browser. It includes bookmarks, history (both also in sidebar) and tabs. Above that, you can read RSS feeds with included RSS reader, block ads with builtin AdBlock plugin, block Flash content with Click2Flash or edit CA Certificates database with SSL Manager.
QupZilla's main aim is to be very fast and very stable QtWebKit browser available to everyone. There is already a lot of QtWebKit browsers available, but they are either bound to KDE environment (rekonq), not actively developped (Arora) or very unstable and missing important features, but there is missing multiplatform, modern and actively developped browser. QupZilla is trying to fill this gap by providing very stable browsing experience.
