I suspect Qupzilla might actually feel more integrated into GNOME than 
Firefox. You have the Adwaita-Qt theme, the Qt platform plugin system 
supports GTK+ file dialogs, QtKeychain supports gnome-keyring, and Qupzilla 
should also pick up GNOME's fd.o icon theme unlike Firefox.

You could try it with the version we currently have, but beware that it's 
still a QtWebKit version, not the shiny new QtWebEngine stuff. (By the way, 
QtWebEngine support in Qupzilla is apparently no longer experimental. So 
it's just a matter of packaging now.)
