Wouldn’t life be boring if we only had one browser to test our websites? It would be like 2002 all over again!

如果我们只有一个浏览器来测试我们的网站，生活会不会很无聊？ 就像2002年一样！

In a rapidly expanding browser market, QtWeb may have escaped your attention. It is an open-source project that has only been available for a few months, but it is already in version 2 and could be of interest to web developers or those who rely on portable applications.

在快速发展的浏览器市场中， QtWeb可能已引起您的注意。 这是一个开放源代码项目，仅推出了几个月，但已在第2版中发布，对于Web开发人员或那些依赖可移植应用程序的人员可能会很感兴趣。

First and foremost, QtWeb is a lightweight and nimble browser. The installation package is 5Mb and there is a ZIP version that can be installed on a USB drive or any other location. It works on any Windows version from 2000 and most users will just need the single QtWeb.exe executable.

首先，QtWeb是一款轻巧灵活的浏览器。 安装软件包为5Mb，并且有一个ZIP版本，可以将其安装在USB驱动器或任何其他位置。 它可以在2000年之后的任何Windows版本上运行，大多数用户只需要单个QtWeb.exe可执行文件。

Its minimal requirements means that QtWeb starts quickly and feels responsive. The interface is reminiscent of Firefox but a little amateurish. That said, it is functional, the icons are obvious, and the toolbars can be moved around at will – even outside the browser window. It has all the standard features you would expect from a modern browser:

它的最低要求意味着QtWeb可以快速启动并具有响应能力。 该界面让人联想到Firefox，但有点业余。 就是说，它是功能性的，图标很明显，并且工具栏可以随意移动-甚至在浏览器窗口之外。 它具有您希望现代浏览器提供的所有标准功能：

• a search bar搜索栏
• bookmark import and export书签导入和导出
• tabs and session support标签和会话支持
• download management下载管理
• blocking of pop-ups, cookies, JavaScript, and images阻止弹出窗口，cookie，JavaScript和图像
• SSL, FTP and plug-in supportSSL，FTP和插件支持

It even offers a unique virtual on-screen keyboard so you can enter secure data or passwords without worrying about key loggers.

它甚至提供了独特的虚拟屏幕键盘，因此您可以输入安全的数据或密码，而不必担心按键记录器。

As a portable browser, QtWeb easily beats the competition. Copy the exe to a USB drive, import your bookmarks, and you have a secure browser that can be run from any Windows PC. It is far faster and less resource-hungry than the portable edition of Firefox.

作为便携式浏览器，QtWeb轻松击败了竞争对手。 将exe复制到USB驱动器，导入书签，然后就可以从任何Windows PC上运行安全的浏览器。 它比Firefox的便携式版本要快得多，而且资源占用更少。

Whilst few people would use QtWeb as their default browser, developers should note that it uses the same WebKit rendering engine as Apple Safari and Google Chrome (it is a slightly older version than Safari 4 Beta, but newer than Chrome). In my brief tests, it rendered pages identically to both. It also offers the excellent web inspector – a feature that is missing from Chrome:

虽然很少有人会使用QtWeb作为默认浏览器，但开发人员应注意，它使用与Apple Safari和Google Chrome相同的WebKit渲染引擎(该版本比Safari 4 Beta稍旧，但比Chrome更新)。 在我的简短测试中，它呈现的页面与两者相同。 它还提供了出色的Web检查器-Chrome缺少的功能：

I was impressed with QtWeb. The developers identified their niche and make no presumptions about it taking over the browser market. It is great for portable browsing, but is also ideal for quick and dirty WebKit testing without having to install Safari or Chrome on your development PC.

QtWeb给我留下了深刻的印象。 开发人员发现了他们的利基市场，并没有因此而占领浏览器市场的任何假设。 它非常适合便携式浏览，但是对于快速而肮脏的WebKit测试也是理想的选择，而无需在开发PC上安装Safari或Chrome。
