I have been using Falkon/QupZilla since 2 days as the main web browser on my system. And i would like to request and comment new features that i think improve the UX and the quality of the software. 1: Update to latests versions of the software core, at "About QupZilla" window, i see that the Chrome/Chromium version mentioned is 61.x, being the actual on stable channel, the 64.x. I think the update of these core parts would be better for the performance of the web browser. 2: Deloper tools. I notified since the first day i tried this software (about 4 weeks ago more or less), that i can't open any developer tools or anything like that, (i tried with the habitual keyboard shortcuts, like F12, Ctrl-Shift-I but nothing opened, even searching for any of that at the options, but i didn't find anything) and i think this is an essential feature for this kind of software. 3: Advanced options. I can't see any advanced options, like on Firefox is "about:config" or the flags on Chromium/Chrome etc. I would like to have this on this software, to configure some advanced parameters, like the way that the web browser reacts to a click on the URL bar, and if the url is selected, double click on it, trim the URL or not, etc. 4: Support of the plugins. I'm not a heavy user of this kind of addons/plugins/extensions, however you prefer to call them. But i really would like to can install uBlock Origin (yeah, i know that QupZilla/Falcon has its own adblocker but uBlock Origin is for me, better, because it's FOSS too, and above all, it allows much more configurability than i have seen on the built-in adblock) or some others plugins, available on Chromium/Firefox, etc. I really have a lot of hope on this web browser and i would like to use it as an alternative that hasn't got any difference of base features when it's compared with Firefox, Chromium and that. I have to add that the Speed Dial (a feature that i never found on Firefox or Chromium and i missed very much from Opera, Maxthon, Vivaldi, etc) is really great, i didn't try it a lot, but looks great, and i remember from Opera too, the feature to could change the wallpaper on that screen, just amazing.
1. That depends on QtWebEngine. New Qt release usually ships with QtWebEngine based on newer Chromium. 2. Developer tools can be enabled by setting QTWEBENGINE_REMOTE_DEBUGGING=12345 env variable (you can use any port you like, 12345 in this example). QtWebEngine 5.11 will have proper developer tools without this hack. 3. Advanced options are in preferences, I don't see any reason for this. 4. AdBlock implementation can be improved, but if you really want uBlock you should write to the uBlock addon developer. There is a GSoC project to add support for JavaScript/QML extension which should make writing extensions easier.
Also this is not a way to request new features. Each bugreport should only have one separate bug/feature.

Thanks, i read something about that yeah, on Twitter, i'm very excited about that. 2: So basically at the future, the developer tools will be implemented as native? With QtWebEngine, right? 3: I saw them, but there are only 4 options on the Appearance, what i can see and there are not what i mean, i mean, some really advanced options, related to, as i said, like in Mozilla Firefox, is about:config, i suppose you know it, but there are a lot of options, which change the behavior of the software. 4: Ok, i will write him to telling that. Thanks for your surprisingly speed responses and thanks for your hard work. Receive a huge hug.

I add to the previous comment, 1: Ok, so there is no responsibility of Falkon/QupZilla, because it delegates into QtWebEngine for that. Thanks and sorry for the inconveniences.
