The first preview release, written in Python (using PyQt library), was ready by December 2010. The project was started as a research project in 2010. History QupZilla v1.7.0 passed Acid3 test. Falkon is also distributed in the PortableApps format. A 'portable' (no installation) version for Windows platforms exists.
