Description: Arora is a lightweight cross-platform web browser. It's free (as in free speech and free beer). Arora runs on Linux, embedded Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Windows, Haiku, and any other platforms supported by the Qt toolkit.
Arora uses the QtWebKit port of the fully standards-compliant WebKit layout engine. It features fast rendering, powerful JavaScript engine and supports Netscape plugins.
Apart from the must-have features such as bookmarks, history and tabbed browsing Arora boasts:
* very fast startup * integration with desktop environments * smart location bar * session management * privacy mode * flexible search engine management * ClickToFlash plugin * download manager * WebInspector, a set of tools for web developers * 30 translations
Arora began as a demo by Benjamin Meyer to help test the QtWebKit component, but since then it has grown into its own project outside of Qt.
Arora has a small, simple code base that is fun to hack on. Join the party in #arora on irc.freenode.org!Last changelog:
Interface: When the privacy indicator is visible clicking on it will result in private mode being turned off. Add a way to modify the user agent string from within the application. Support arguments for the external download program Tweak the adblock dialog spacing and size. Change the AdBlock dialog to use a simple check box instead of a group box. Replace Stopped with Download Complete (like in ffx it's less confusing ) Update the copyright year in the about dialog to include 2010 Issue: 768: Fix spelling mistake Issue: 821: Sort columns in cookie dialog by data values instead of string value. This fixes the dates being alphanumerically sorted.
Behind the scene: Issue: 891: Fix Text Encoding to work correctly Issue: 826: Correctly save the history state of a tab when using Qt 4.6 Fix build breakage with QtWebKit 2.0. Remove remnant of delayed QWebView creation. Fixes tab restore again. Style fix: convert tabs to spaces.
Build system: Add an application icon for os2. For finding the locale tools on os2 behave like win32 When building in debug mode on OS2 just like with Windows enable the console. Move Arora's hooks to the git-hooks format to utilize git-hooks (See: http://github.com/icefox/git-hooks) Default to lrelease and not lrelease-qt4 on non unix platforms. QMAKE_EXTRA_UNIX_TARGETS is deprecated; use QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS instead. Enable the raster graphics system by default for X11
Translation: Make "Show Hidden Files" translatable. Issue: 811: Fix typos in the German translation Replaced "leichtgewichtiger" with "schlanker" in translation with source "Lightweight WebKit-based wen browser" Fixed capitalization typo whare the word "Tab" began with a lowercase "t" Renamed Dutch translation file from nl_BE to nl.
Sorry but I'm not a developer. I only released Arora on qt-apps.org. Please contact with developers:
