QupZilla is a free and open-source web browser, intended for general users. It allows seamless integration with users' desktop environments and has several distinguishing features. QupZilla is licensed under GPLv3.
Features[edit]
QupZilla makes use of the WebKit HTML engine provided in QtWebKit, to support modern web standards.[3] Additional effort was put into seamless integration of the browser with the native look and feel of users' desktops.[4] Some additional features of the browser include the integration of history, web feeds and bookmarks in a single location, the ability to take a screenshot of the entire page, and an Opera-like "Speed dial" home page.[5] It is reported to consume fewer system resources than the major general purpose browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.[6]
QupZilla uses the Qt cross-platform application framework and offers an optimized built-in AdBlock. A "portable" (no installation) version for Windows platforms exists. QupZilla is also distributed in the PortableApps format.[7]
History[edit]
The project was started as a research project in 2010. The first preview release, written in Python (using PyQt library), was ready by December 2010.[8] In 2011 the source code was rewritten in C++ with a goal to create a general purpose portable web browser, with the initial target being seamless integration with the desktop environment's look and feel of Microsoft Windows, and Linux.[9] Version 1.6.6 (May 2014) still supported Windows 2000.[10]
