WildFox

WildFox is both its own project in addition to reimagining what Mozilla's Firefox web browser stood for, years ago: a light-weight, versatile and efficient web browser. It's also cross-platform and compatible with Chrome & Firefox plug-ins and addons.

WildFox is built upon a WebKit/Qt/C++ foundation and currently supports the following features:

• Full HTML 5, CSS 3, JavaScript and Flash plugin support.
• Support for all Firefox plugins (NPAPI).
• Basic tab management.

Note that WildFox is very much a work in progress at this point. Major features still to be added include:

• Advanced bookmark management
• Advanced tab management
• Advanced download manager
• Sessions

Features new in build 2013-05-19 are:

• Added the OpenSSL libeay32 and ssleay32 DLLs to the Windows distribution.
• Larger, auto-expanding search field in UI.
• Save state of the bookmarks sidebar.
• Website icons next to bookmarks.
• History support. URL completion in address bar (start with protocol).
• Moved to Qt 5.1.

Fixed in 2013-05-19:

• F5 for reload isn't working.
• Downloads aren't working.

You can download the current Alpha build here. Either get the full version or the update (exe-only) if you already have the Qt 5.1 DLLs.
