QupZilla web browser for Linux PPC

Post by xeno74 »

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.

QupZilla's main aim is to be a very fast and very stable QtWebKit browser available to everyone. There are already a lot of QtWebKit browsers available, but they are either bound to the KDE environment (rekonq), are not actively developed or very unstable and miss important features. But there is missing a multiplatform, modern and actively developed browser. QupZilla is trying to fill this gap by providing a very stable browsing experience.

I dunno... for me the Firefox polished platform is a given... and the alternative speed-wise only is NetSurf on AOS. Maybe you can look into special speed-ups of Firefox on X1000 or maybe compile the test version or the alternative Pale Moon. I have a feeling there is a certain unexplained bottleneck even though on 14.10 it operates somewhat lighter.

Yeah, our best WebKit browser for PowerPC QupZilla is very fast and works very well on ubuntu MATE 15.04 PowerPC!

I just tested Qupzilla and Epiphany.

Qupzilla is very faster, IMHO, than Epiphany, but mousewheel doesn't work with QupZilla (but work with Epiphany)... Hard choice :D
