Tried this beast out (http://www.qupzilla.com/) a while ago, on 13.1, and it was ok, but somewhat buggy. This 1.8.5 version works great, and i love the fact it integrates into my plasma environment properly (works normally and adopts qtcurve themes normally). Since i can change the user agent, i love the fact that ‘unsupported browser’ doesn’t show too much on different sites.
Now, only one more feature - make .p12 certificates work, so i can do my online banking, and then i delete Firefox.
Great work to the qupzilla guys, if there’s anyone reading!
Your thoughts?
I have it installed. I’ve tried it a little, and it seems to work pretty well. It crashes on the same sites where konqueror and rekonq crash.
I am not using it regularly.
Of course.
They all use exactly the same rendering engine: QtWebKit
You might also try the Qt5/KF5 versions though, they are available in the KDE:Unstable:Extra repo (qupzilla-qt5 and rekonq5). Qt5 contains a newer version of WebKit AFAIK.
I realized that.

I originally went with qupzilla rather than qupzilla-qt5, because there was a kwallet plugin for it. But I see there’s now a kwallet plugin for qupzilla-qt5 available for Tumbleweed. So I plan to give that a try.
Actually, I noticed one other difference.
Yesterday I could access the forum with “firefox” but not with “rekonq”. I tried “qupzilla”, and that was fine.
After a little testing, I determined that “firefox” was connecting with IPv4 and “rekonq” was using “IPv6”. Apparently the forum was having IPv6 routing problems (maybe still is). I added an IPv4 entry to “/etc/hosts” which seems to have coerced “rekonq” into using IPv4.
Since it worked, presumably “qupzilla” was preferring IPv4 over IPv6 (similar to firefox).
