    I use it occasionally.
    It has some nice features and tends to render most sites that I visit well.
    It does load slow, but not as slow as Firefox.
    On my system it runs lighter than Opera.

    It apparently uses the WebKit engine.

    Task Manager in XP shows it using 48,000k.

    I attached a screenshot of the Privacy tab otions in QTweb browser.

    These are the Tools > Options > Privacy settings in this screenshot.

    QTweb also has compatability mode (user agent) and it saves passwords on some sites.

    I like it. Not as much as Opera though.

    I used it in the past, but found then, memory usage was high (nearly 250+MB) with only a few tabs open and say 20 minutes of browsing. Crashed a few too many times.

    But, might have improved since then.

    It is a very nice portable browser that runs OK on older machines. Not something I use all the time, but do have it on a USB stick that I use occassionaly.

    Count me in with Pedro and Sully. It's on my USB and I run it a few times a month.

    I like it. When I first tried it, my home page wouldn't render. I posted in their forum and the next version worked. So that's pretty cool!

    I'm looking at QTWeb closer and I noticed a few things about it.
    On the plus side it has been stable for me.
    The down side is the slow load time and it doesn't remember passwords for every website.
    It needs work, but it's decent imo.

    It works in WinPE2. I use it with my custom boot WIM based on Active Boot Disk/MS DaRT.
