Second week of coding phase, GSoC'18
The week was totally involved in developing QML APIs similar to WebExtension APIs. The follwoing APIs are developed:
- TopSites API: The API to access the sites displayed in speed-dial.
- History API: The API to interact with the browser history.
- Cookies API: The API to interact with & set cookies.

Also, I am greatly thankful to my mentor David Rosca for always helping me. Now for this week we have decieded to work on Tabs API, but it would more similar to Falkon C++ API rather than WebExtension API.
Happy Summers!
