QtWeb looks good. I must say I found it to be quite fast. This is because it uses the Apple's Webkit Render Engine, used in Apple Safari, and Chrome.
I also found that this browser scored a 100 out of 100 in Acid3 test. That's impressive.
This browser has potential, but there are a lot of shortcomings for it to overcome.
There are no add-ons as of now, and that is quite a big drawback, as it limits the functionality of the browser.
The downloader is decent, but no option of pause. There is no option of integrity with download managers.
If the option to save passwords is turned on, it will start saving passwords for all the sites... it won't ask. So, its not possible to choose if you do not want passwords to be saved for certain sites.
The status bar has been mixed with the address bar... like Opera. I don't find that quite good enough, one of the reasons why I don't like Opera. In Firefox, if you place the mouse over a link, the full link is shown in the status bar, and that helps to look what site you are going to open. But in QtWeb, no such option is there.
There are some good things though. It is quite configurable in terms of usability, and various buttons are available which can be configured. A button for private browsing makes it quite easy to access.
The toolbars can be undocked, and placed outside of the browser.
It provides good options for web developers, with development tools.
Auto-filling of forms can be achieved.
I hope it is developed to be a good browser, and more functions are added to it.
