Internet web browser, based on Mozilla, that features a number of useful features focusing on privacy and speed.

In a world where there are no more than 3 mainstream browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome), QupZilla joins in as an alternative to the above three.

In terms of improvements to the Mozilla flagship browser Firefox, QupZilla offers an updated design; it also integrates some of the most loved addons of Firefox such as AdBlock, an integrated RSS reader, improved cookie management, thumbnails of frequently visited sites and more. It also offers the function of blocking specific Java content, Flash and JavaScript.

In terms of layout design, QupZilla includes several custom skins which take advantage of window transparency and notifications.
