Heh :) Yea, well, versus coding a whole browser from scratch that included all the features I'd want... Even using premade rendering and JS engines (which I definitely would have done), that still leaves a lot of work. > Did you know Arora *is* the Qt webbrowser example that got out of control > and became a real browser?

I wonder how much of a split there is between that and the current Arora.
