Arora is a cross-platform open source web browser using the WebKit rendering engine, built on top of Qt. It features a minimalistic and lightweight interface, including tab management, simple history and bookmarks system and global user CSS.

History

The original codebase was written for Trolltech by Benjamin C Meyer ("icefox"), a Qt developer. It was released as the Qt Demo Browser as part of Qt 4.4.0, demonstrating the capabilities of the then-new Qt-WebKit integration. After the release, Meyer forked the code and continued working on it independently, under the name Arora.
