Dooble includes features whose purpose is to improve privacy and usability.
Included is a non-JavaScript file manager and FTP browser.[5]
Highly-configurable proxy settings provide reasonable flexibility.
All of the data that Dooble retains is encrypted. An exception is user settings. Dooble also provides a session-based model where most of the data exists only in temporary memory.
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.
Version 1.26 of Dooble includes support for addons. Linux and Windows installers contain the InterFace plugin, a new Open Source Social Networking application that's similar to ChatZilla and Diaspora.[6]
Dooble partially integrates the distributed search engine YaCy.[7]
Along with standard cookie management options, Dooble also provides a mechanism for the automatic deletion of cookie information. If permitted, Dooble will occasionally remove undesired cookies.[8] [9]

Dooble has been rated as the ninth of ten "top" Linux browsers by Jack Wallen.[11]
