Most Linux distributions have deprecated or removed the obsolete QtwebKit because it is unmaintained and has a huge list of very serious security issues. Quirerss depends completely on QtWebKit. The author of QuiteRSS has said he does not have the resources and time to port Quiterss to QtWebEngine. This is the reason why most users have already migrated to RssGuard or any other RSS readers. Quiterss has been removed along with QtWebKit from several Linux distributions because of this issue. RssGuard and Liferea are the closest applications to the same functionality of Quiterss.
Closest but still far, far away. I regret that the author does not release at least a Windows version.
RssGuard and Liferea are way beyond QuiteRSS in functionality and any aspect you may think, and infinitely more secure. Both are actively developed and maintained. RssGuard support Windows and is offered in lite and regular versions.

To me, they are overgrown cows that in no way resemble an basic RSS client, but rather RSS management programs. QuiteRSS is fast, lightweight and brilliantly written, and for good reason, it is still used and recognized as the best RSS client for years.
I completely removed QtWebKit from the system and use the build from the switch-to-webengine
branch - it works much more stable than on QtWebKit. But it doesn’t have plugins, like AdBlock, and the news itself takes a long time to switch. As I understand it, the entire heavyweight QtWebEngine component is recreated every time the news is switched. Lacks optimization.
But nevertheless, it works much more stable and does not crash.
I'm working on QuiteRSS too
There's still lots to do so if anyone wants to help out: https://github.com/cornpaffies/quiterss

That is a shame. QuiteRSS has been a very useful RSS reader. I am testing RssGuard now and it seems very bloated by comparison.
There is still a big gap between rssguard and quiterss. First, learn the functions of quiterss clearly. Not to mention the ease of using, rssguard will be a mess just by designing the menu.
Hi, I just noticed that the last update for QuiteRSS was in 2020. I wonder why such a helpful app has not been updated for about 4 years or so?
