Description:

Browse the World Wide Web
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
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!

The right-click modifier i.e. START/ALT doesn't work here. Same as in Links2, eLinks. Makes it useless for me. Otherwise good speed for browsing.

All the ssl errors make this release unusable.

This version crashes on full screen for me, even after deleting appdata and pnd.

Say yes to certificates, and it remeber your choices. I know it happens, but don't know why. Looks harmless.
