Software Sunday EP8: QupZilla is a Great Lightweight Functional Web Browser

In this episode of Software Sunday we are going to take a look at a great lightweight web browser that does not sacrifice functionality for performance. Qupzilla was originally started as an educational project in 2010 but has grow in to a full blown powerful web-browser since then. I have been using it for for the past two weeks on my dual core Intel Atom Latitude 2120 and I really like it. It can do everything that chromium and Firefox can do but with a smaller resource footprint. On my dual core atom system with Xubuntu 16.04 installed Qupzilla is my go to choice, it opens much faster and is overall much more responsive than the other two browsers I have installed on my system. It sports a familiar looking and easy to navigate interface. Notable features include great HTML 5 support, a built in ad blocker which is enabled by default, support for bookmarks, multiple tabs, private browsing, and much more. Many lighter weight web browsers that I have used in the past have struggled to render modern web-pages properly, Qupzilla renders pages just fine. I had no problem browsing YoutTube, playing back a video at 1080P @ 60fps, opening up Google docs, or checking out my social media streams. Qupzilla makes browsing the web on older systems bearable and is a great way to turn an old slow computer into a decent web browsing / office machine.
