release of the web browser , providing a minimal graphical interface that does not distract from content browsing and a navigation system inspired by the Vim text editor, entirely built on keyboard shortcuts. The code is written in Python using PyQt5 and QtWebEngine. The source code under the GPLv3 license. The use of Python does not affect performance since rendering and parsing content are handled by the Blink engine and the Qt library.
The browser supports a tab system, download manager, private browsing mode, built-in PDF viewer (pdf.js), ad-blocking system (at the host blocking level), and an interface for browsing the history. For viewing videos on YouTube, an external video player can be configured. Navigation through the page is accomplished using the "hjkl" keys, opening a new page can be done by pressing "o", and switching between tabs is done using the "J" and "K" keys or "Alt-tab number". Pressing ":" brings up a command line prompt where page search and standard commands can be executed, just like in vim, for example, ":q" to quit and ":w" to save the page. A system of "hints" marks links and images for quick navigation to elements on the page.
In the new version:
- Initial support for Qt 5.14 has been implemented;
- A new setting, content.site_specific_quirks, has been added to address issues with websites like WhatsApp Web, Google Accounts, Slack, Dell.com, and Google Docs, to specific User Agents. The default User Agent now includes both the qutebrowser version and the Qt version;
- A setting, qt.force_platformtheme, has been added to enforce the use of a specified theme in Qt;
- A new setting, tabs.tooltips, allows the disabling of tooltips for tabs;
- Settings for fonts.contextmenu,
colors.contextmenu.menu.bg,
colors.contextmenu.menu.fg,
colors.contextmenu.selected.bg, and
colors.contextmenu.selected.fg have been added to manage the styling of the context menu.
