qutebrowser 1.12.0 release

Published web browser release cutebrowser 1.12.0, which provides a minimal graphical interface that does not distract from viewing the content, and a Vim text editor-style navigation system built entirely on keyboard shortcuts. The code is written in Python using PyQt5 and QtWebEngine. Source texts extend licensed under GPLv3. The use of Python does not affect performance, since content is rendered and parsed by the Blink engine and the Qt library.

The browser supports a tabbed browsing system, a download manager, a private browsing mode, a built-in PDF viewer (pdf.js), an ad blocking system (at the host blocking level), an interface for viewing browsing history. To watch YouTube videos, you can set up to call an external video player. Moving around the page is carried out using the "hjkl" keys, to open a new page you can press "o", switching between tabs is done using the "J" and "K" keys or "Alt-tab number". Pressing ":" brings up a command line prompt where you can search the page and execute typical commands like in vim, such as ":q" to quit and ":w" to write the page. For a quick transition to page elements, a system of "hints" is proposed, which marks links and images.
