Portable Open Source browser QtWeb updates to version 2

The new version features even more customization options for menus, hotkeys, and buttons, including the ability to hide the main menu. Version 2 also adds a virtual keyboard for mouse-only surfing, a print preview option, a better download manager, and improvements to QTWeb's privacy tools. A number of bugfixes have also been implemented - the full list is available on the QT web site.
Two new features that developers will appreciate have been added. Web Inspector - a Firebug-like tool for examining web pages - makes it easy to analyze and troubleshoot code. The Inspector also includes a resources view (pictured) which tracks load times for individual elements on a page. Command line scripting has also been added, which allows dumping pages (including javascript-heavy ones) to a single file.
The installer, portable executable, and zipped portable version are all available from the QtWeb download page.
I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.

Looks interesting, I'm testing it right now. It's fast but has some quirks. It's the only browser not to insert www and .com when you press ctrl + domain. It has problems displaying Feedburner feeds in HTML. It doesn't have a decent URL Bar (no awesome-bar like behavior). And, a deal breaker for me, no adblocking support. I guess I'll be sticking with SRWare Iron for now.
