RunIT-QT Browser — 1.0 RC2 Release

I’m happy to announce the release of RC2 version of RunIT-QT, a lightweight Qt WebEngine browser designed for speed, simplicity, and privacy.

RunIT-QT focuses on a clean interface, low memory use, and a fast browsing experience – without the bloat commonly found in larger browsers. This release also includes major improvements across adblocking, downloads, security, and overall usability. Below is an image of the current UI. The code and a detailed README.md can be found from the Github: https://github.com/postman721/RunIT-QT_QWebengine
