<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm currently trying to update and maintain the Arora browser
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/Arora/arora">https://github.com/Arora/arora</a>) that has been deprecated a few
years ago. This browser was a fork of the original Qt webengine
demo browser and I found a few things in the commit history that I
find interesting, and I thought I might be able to find answers
here, because some people here might still remember a bit about
this browser (I was less than one year old at the time of it's
initial commit, and at that age, I didn't even know what a web
browser is). If this is not the right place to ask this, please
tell me, I just didn't know where to ask this question:</p>
The original README contained this: <span style="color: rgb(36, 41, 46); font-family: SFMono-Regular, Consolas, "Liberation Mono", Menlo, monospace; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 238, 240); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;">Arora is a fork of the Demo Browser that was shipped with Qt 4.4.0. All new development is no longer going into the demo browser, but here. Some have critizized the demo browser for being to large already and should have been kicked out earlier.</span>
I'm interested about the "<span style="color: rgb(36, 41, 46); font-family: SFMono-Regular, Consolas, "Liberation Mono", Menlo, monospace; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 238, 240); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;">All new development is no longer going into the demo browser, but here.</span>"
part. Does this mean this browser was supported by Qt or the KDE
foundation and officially moved or does this just mean the original
creator just moved all of his new development from the demo browser
to Arora? was especially wondering about the involvement of KDE
because the author of arora also was the author of kaudiocreator and
had more contributions to KDE, so he was involved KDE.<br>

</p>
<p>If anyone is interested in this new browser, I have the source
code on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gitlab.com/EndorphinBrowser">https://gitlab.com/EndorphinBrowser</a> (development is
currently in the webengine branch). (I do not recommend using this
browser, especially not the development version, the webengine
version is REALLY unstable).<br>
</p>
<p>Also, huge thanks to the maintainers and contributors of Falkon
browser for maintaining and updating a some scripts that were part
of Arora initially.</p>
<p>And thank you for maintaining this great project! KDE is really
amazing.<br>
