QupZilla

QupZilla is a new, fast and secure open-source WWW browser. QupZilla is licensed under GPL version 3 or (at your option) any later version.
This project has been started mainly for educational reasons to learn Qt/C++ basics.
From the basic idea of writing a simple web browser it grew up in an every day usable very fast web browser. Though it cannot be a full replacement for big browsers like Firefox, it can be, and surely is, a fast & small alternative to quickly browse the web.

QupZilla is developed and maintained by the project owner David Rosca <[email protected]> with help from other contributors, mainly in graphics and translations to foreign languages.

##QupZilla Features With every version, QupZilla is trying to include new features. At now, QupZilla implements all standard web browser features. In addition to this standard, there are a lot of interesting features too.

• Very fast startup - QupZilla is ready to use at lightning speed
• Very fast browsing - with QWebKit core, QupZilla renders pages in moment
• SSL Certificate Manager - never lets you visit page with bad certificate without notification
• Search Engines Manager - with OpenSearch support and suggestions
• Browser Themes - with themes support, you can easily make your browser looks unique!
• Speed Dial - access your favourite pages easily
• Windows 7 API - QupZilla is using Windows 7 TaskBar JumpLists and background blur
• Cross Platform - support for all major platforms allows use it everywhere
• QupZilla doesn't use even one registry entry on Windows, keep your register clean!

You can also use command line interface to interact with browser.
