Portable Falkon (formerly QupZilla)

When it comes to choosing the right tool for a specific job, there are usually several choices we can make and insofar as web browsers are concerned this is no different. If you have tried most or all of the top browsers in existence, maybe you would like to try a different feel, one that combines your previous experiences.

Previously known as Portable QupZilla and now rebranded as Portable Falkon, this browser is designed to bring together some of the most useful features of the big names in the business. The great thing about this particular edition is that you will be able to carry it with you on a portable device and run it from there, without having to install it on every PC you work on.

The clean and friendly interface hosts a wide array of functions that have to be discovered by checking out each menu of the application. The support for multiple tabs is built-in, as is the Speed Dial you might have seen if you used the Opera browser.

It boasts a Download Manager, a RSS Reader and a Web Inspector tool for viewing and managing webpage source code, resources and other development related tasks. The AdBlock feature of Portable Falkon comes in very handy as it is active by default and you can configure it in great detail to get rid of annoying advertisements while browsing the web.

Handling the cookies that are kept by this application is a simple job thanks to the Cookies Manager. It supports whitelist and blacklist filtering while offering you the possibility to view in an organized fashion all the details concerning the stored cookies.

Adjusting the running options of Portable Falkon will enable you to discover the support for application extensions, which turn this browser into an extensible utility. Well equipped, easy to use and with decent speed in loading webpages, this program takes full advantage of QtWebEngine's capabilities and can be a really good addition to the software toolbox of any user.
