[edit] History

The original codebase was written for Trolltech by Benjamin C Meyer ("icefox"), a Qt developer. It was released as the Qt Demo Browser as part of Qt 4.4.0, demonstrating the capabilities of the then-new Qt-WebKit integration. After the release, Meyer forked the code and continued working on it independently, under the name Arora.^[1]
