Although the download page states "32bit and 64bit Windows installers can be downloaded by clicking on links below", only 32bit Windows versions are produced for download. I confirmed it on Github (http://github.com/QupZilla/qupzilla/downloads; where BTW you already have the v1.3.1 tarball): the only x64 packages available are for Linux...

Por nada, Sr. Baas.
My list of favorites among your suggestions has grown, but I'll be doing new additions, little by little.

Thanks. I only asked because it kept being replicated in reply's subjects even though they're about newer versions... 8)

This is quickly becoming my favorite secondary browser.

Pros:
* Supports Greasemonkey out of the box (also supports userstyles.org; converts styles to a userscript)
* Supports custom search engines with aliases
* Built-in adblock - also supports adding custom subscriptions
* Has a cookie manager
* Has an interesting on-screen display notifications feature that I haven't seen in other browsers before
* UI is quite customizable

Cons:
* Built-in mouse gestures uses the middle-mouse button as the toggler, which is weird for Windows users

Overall, a very good browser. Definitely one to watch out for.

Things I'd like to see in the future are customizable keyboard shortcuts and rocker gestures.

Contrary to what TPFC's description says, PortableApps.com's QupZilla Portable is not stealth.

Really like some of the updates to qupzilla since I tested it last (about 6 months ago). Supports TONS of operating systems, notification controls, better cookie manager, the browser window customization controls make more sense, built-in adblock, and better password management and autofill options. If it keeps improving at this rate, this is going to start overtaking other browsers.

Edit: Mac version is pretty light on options, seems early-stage.

They switched to a new (and better) Qt HTML view, hence the size increase. You can likely use something like the PortableApps.com AppCompactor (which uses UPX) to make it smaller. Note that we don't do this by default on apps at PortableApps.com anymore as size has become a bit less of an issue for most users and compression increases false positive rates.
