features. Dooble 2017.11.05 replaces version 1.0 which was initially
released in 2008!

  * Authentically-encrypted database containers are included. The

    note that both implementations of AES and Threefish are written

    This feature allows Dooble to purge unwanted cookie data from
    your browsing history.

    in a school setting where it's desired that only specific sites
    may be accessed.
  * Completely redesigned! Most of the major operating systems are
    supported, including your favorite Unix-like systems as well as
    Windows. Wherever Qt and WebEngine are supported, so is Dooble!
  * Dooble is highly-configurable software. The internal workings are
    clearly visible. Tool tips are included wherever confusion may
    arise.
  * Dooble is open source software and includes a very relaxed BSD
    license.
  * Proxy support is of course included. Whether you enjoy using a
    private proxy or a public proxy, Dooble is attentive to your
    privacy.
  * Qt 5.9.x and newer are required! WebKit has been deprecated and
    WebEngine is now the preferred layout engine for rendering Web
    pages. Release 2017.11.05 includes Qt 5.9.2 libraries.
  * Zero-dependency browser. The only entities that Dooble requires
    are Qt and you!

Made with love by textbrowser.
