Dooble is a free and open source web browser. The aim of Dooble is to create a comfortable and safe browsing medium.[3][dubious – discuss] Currently, Dooble is available for FreeBSD,[2][dubious – discuss] Linux,[4] OS X,[4] and Windows.[4] Dooble should be compatible with any operating system where Qt is available.[citation needed][dubious – discuss]
Features
Dooble is designed and implemented in order to improve privacy and usability.
Addons
Version 1.26 of Dooble introduced support for addons. Linux and Windows installers contain the Interface_(chat) plugin, a new Open Source Social Networking application that's similar to ChatZilla and Diaspora.[5] As of version 1.40, the TorBrowser Add-On based on Vidalia is supported: Tor Browser Addon .
Bookmarks
Dooble includes a simple bookmarks browser. Users may also modify an existing bookmark via a popup that's accessible from the location widget.
Cookie Management
Along with standard cookie management options, Dooble also provides a mechanism that automatically removes cookies. If permitted, Dooble will occasionally remove undesired cookies.[6][7]
Distributed Search Engine
Dooble partially integrates the distributed search engine YaCy.[8]
Encrypted Browsing Information
Most of the data that Dooble retains is encrypted. Dooble does not encode file associations and user settings. Dooble also provides a session-based model where the data is encrypted with a temporary password.
File Manager and FTP Browser
Included is a non-JavaScript file manager and FTP browser.[7]
Proxy Configuration
Highly-configurable proxy settings provide reasonable flexibility.
Session Restoration
Dooble supports session restoration for authenticated sessions. If Dooble exits prematurely, the user may restore previous tabs and windows at the next authenticated session.
Third-Party Content Blocking
Some Web sites employ iFrames in order to distribute content from one or more third-party Web sites. Since this technology may raise privacy issues with some users, Dooble provides a means of blocking external content.
History
The first version (0.1) was released in September, 2009.[8] The current version (1.41) was released in March, 2013.[2]
Releases
Dooble is also available on Nokia's N900. [9]
Reception
Dooble has been rated as the ninth of ten "top" Linux browsers by Jack Wallen.[10]
