how to configure qupzilla?


I came across a new browser called qupzilla and decided to give it a try.It is good.But,I want to configure it like I do with firefox.
How can I do so?
I can change the default search engine and address bar search.But,how to turn off safe browsing,search suggestions,geo location and all other google related stuff?
Simply put,I want to eradicate google from it.

i really don't like how you start 1 thread about almost the same topic, then never return to it and start another one immediately.

plus, your original post lacks basic information.
show us what you tried.
i'm sure we don't have to tell you that qupzilla has a preferences dialog?

Tried qupzilla, didn't like it for the same reason. Firefox add-on ghostery should allow one to block what you want.

you can also remove search engines. first step.

there's more stuff in
preferences => Browsing => Web configuration
preferences => privacy (be sure to click all the buttons)
preferences => extensions

oh, you saw all that already?
well, why haven't you said so? post #1 should always contain as much info as possible.

in addition to that, i daresay qupzilla probably has more configuration options if you have the wits to make a few web searches, open and edit a few text files.

it seems that this is disabled by default. you will have to read all of qupzillas documentation (both on- and offline) to find out.

and safe browsing.
this is the only thing i see as a real question atm.
