Browser Review - Dooble

For the browser requirement, I downloaded and reviewed Dooble.

Dooble is an open source browser, source code is available via Source Forge. It is based on WebKit, much like many other modern browsers.

Some of the products WebKit is found in.

Dooble is released under the GPL license and as such is able to be freely distributed. The version available for Windows that I tested was Version 1.44.

My initial impression was it is a very slick browser, very minimal. Almost Zen. Additionally it appears to be very fast, rendering pages must faster than Firefox. I couldn't say if it is faster than Chrome, but it might be...which is actually saying quite a bit.  

Here is a screenshot from the install on my system. (Windows 7)

Despite the initial impression, I am not sure that I could find myself using this as my browser. There are certain features that I need as a developer, one of them is a robust code inspector. Dooble doesn't have one built-in. And I didn't find one among their plugins that I cared for. Additionally, the amount of plugins available were rather lacking. Obviously with being a niche browser, there are only niche developers who are making extensions or plugins for the browser. 

I currently primarily use Firefox, which is not the fastest browser but it has LOTS of plugins to do just about anything you can think of in a browser. I use Chrome occasionally as well, but am concerned with the use of my personal information by google. I understand the irony too with using Blogger to publish that.
Regardless I will be uninstalling this browser. My only niche browser that I use with any regularity is Opera, primarily for the mobile caching they provide in Android.
