“Pros:

“Lightweight web browser that works on just about any platform
and on slow hardware

“Cons:

“It doesn’t have that many features yet. It’s still
in the early stages of development

“Arora is a simple and lightweight cross-platform web browser
based on the WebKit web browser engine, which has a small memory
footprint. It can do some things that the more sophisticated web
browsers can do. WebKit is also the name of the Mac OS X system
framework version of the engine that’s used by Safari,
Dashboard, Mail and many other OS X applications. WebKit is a
browser engine which was originally forked from KHTML and is now
developed further by Apple, Nokia, Adobe, Trolltech and others.
There is also co-operation going on between KHTML and WebKit, but
only to a certain extent.”
