Qt Ultralight Browser

=====================

This is an ultra-lightweight web browser powered by the [Ultralight](https://ultralig.ht/) web engine embedded in [Qt 5](https://www.qt.io/) app as a custom webview widget - **QUltralight (Qt Ultralight)** - a lightweight replacement for Qt WebKit. The project is at very early stage, so it may be unstable.

Here is the screenshot:

Qt Ultralight Browser is very lightweight, it uses only 68 MB of RAM after loading the homepage (DuckDuckGo) and it provides GPU rendering on supported hardware:
