• Arora – completely FLOSS Webkit browser

    by  • September 6, 2009 • Utilities • 4 Comments

    If you want to run a WebKit web browser with no strings attached (unlike Safari and Google Chrome), Arora is surely worth a try.

    First plus is that it runs on Linux, Windows and MacOS X. It is fast, has private browsing and looks like it has some plug-in support. Another good news is the announcement Kubuntu will carry Arora as its default browser in the 9.10 release.

      I like it. It’s very fast and light.
      Unfortunately it crashes a lot on some of my machines. Seems to have some video issues too, but still functions. I would really like per-page permissions.

      There is another advantage — Arora uses Qt, so it may look native to any of these systems, Qt supports even GTK+ themes.

      I still use Firefox only due to some addons and better SSL support.
