QupZilla is a lightweight web browser based on QtWebEngine.

Note
QupZilla has been renamed to Falkon since version 3.0.0. Currently both QupZilla and Falkon are supported by Gentoo.

Overview

Being quite lean, QupZilla is visually attractive and functional. It excellently integrates into desktop environments and looks good on KDE and LXQt.

Installation

USE flags

Cannot load package information. Is the atom www-client/qupzilla correct?

Emerge

Install www-client/qupzilla:

root #emerge --ask www-client/qupzilla

Use on Hardened Gentoo

The latest versions provide more functionality, plugins and nice features; however, the MPROTECT PaX flag is disabled in unstable ebuilds because of Flash. If you don't use Flash, enable the MPROTECT flag with the following command:

root #paxctl -M /usr/bin/qupzilla

It will enable secure memory protections again. Check PaX flags with this command:

root #paxctl -v /usr/bin/qupzilla
