Arora: A light-weight, cross-platform web browser based on WebKit
That's because Arora is built to work on any platform that supports the Qt toolkit. I first noticed Arora's existence when the folks at Canonical picked it as a possible default web browser for Kubuntu 9.10.
The browser has a couple of features that are all the rage with the kids these days, including full page zoom (as opposed to text-only zooming), and a private browsing mode that will let you surf without saving any cookies or other personal data to the hard drive. It's also relatively light on system resources, and boots and loads web pages reasonably quickly.

I have been using Arora on my HP Mini 1000 for the last three months under Linux Mint. Its the only web browser that does not slow down with more than 200 items in google reader on my wimpy atom.

Doesn't hold a candle to Stainless on the mac, which is a shame.

I have been using it on my winXP desktop for a few days now and I like it. the primary reason being that it loads almost as fast as notepad!
There is no reason to really use it as a preferred browser, given so many other excellent options, but, am glad to be a beta tester for another promising open source initiative.
