Description Derek Jennings 2013-01-03 16:52:55 CET

Description of problem:
The arora browser installed with the razorqt desktop is no longer being developed.

qupzilla makes an excellent alternative.
It is based on QT4 and qtwebkit and does not have any kde dependencies so is ideal for use with razorqt or other light weight desktops.

qupzilla is small and light and more feature rich than Arora, and is being actively developed.

The mandriva packages available at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/nowrep/Mandriva_2011/  install and operate OK on mga2 and mga3beta1

Arora lead developer quits

The latest version, qupzilla-1.3.5 is not available as an rpm package so I have made some myself if anyone would like to try it out.

Release 1.3.5 mimics the look and feel of firefox and is quite polished.

So I see... In fact matteo imported it just 4 hours after I raised the bug report.

Now that is what I call good service.
Thanks Matteo  :-)

task-razorqt 1-8.mga3 suggests qupzilla instead of arora.
