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.

What a shame, looked and sounded actually promising...

FWIW, ESET blocked access to the site on my end.

They've replied already.

Hi,
currently, only profile data are written outside program directory (Documents/.qupzilla folder).
There is no writing into windows register.
I will add build DEFINE to use profile directory inside exe directory and probably release standalone portable build

On Win 7 64 QupZilla writes to Users\username\.qupzilla\profiles\default:

certificates folder
LocalStorage folder
networkcache folder
adblocklist.txt
browsedata.db
cookies.dat

I really liked this site's format along with github to enable bug/feature submissions. Other sites should definitely use this model.

Nemo Docs (not portable but a great idea) also has an great system using the getsatisfaction (not a free service) site.

Excellent.

Cool, thanks

With the 'zilla' in it's name I was expecting this to actually use Gecko despite the fact I know all QT browsers use WebKit. Bit of a misleading name.

So how does this compare to QtWeb ?

The author has added that DEFINE.

From now on, it's possible to compile a portable version of QupZilla. However, it seems the author hasn't done that (yet?).

I'm anxious to try the portable version when released.

BTW - Happy New Year to all of you!

v1.1.5 is out and a portable edition (ZIP) is available.
Download: http://www.qupzilla.com/download#download
Changelog: https://github.com/nowrep/QupZilla/wiki/Changelog

However, I found it writing Trolltech stuff to the registry after all...

Thank you, Emka.

Tested V1.1.5.

Now only writes qtsingleapp-QupZil-b880-1-lockfile to Temp folder in user\current\AppData\Local\ + the usual Trolltech keys to the registry.

@moderator

Please move to the submission sub-forum. Thanks.

Thanks Emka and Baas for checking into this. Its a pretty happy turn of events that we ask a developer to change a program where there's community interest and the very next release sees a portable version. I hope we see more examples in the same the way nowrep executed here.

Great news.
