Arora (Webkit based browser) Portable

Submitted by xlegs on July 30, 2009 - 6:27pm

I know there is the Firefox portable that we all know and love. However, there is a webkit browser that was featured on Lifehacker. It is lean, mean, and open source. I think that a portable webkit browser is something PA.com needs. (1) It allows web developers using Nvu or KompoZer to test websites in webkit portably. (2) It would start up faster than Firefox. Useful for a quick check on something before one leaves. (3) PA wouldn't be much of a platform without choice.

Hi everyone, i have been trying to get this one to work as a PortableApp, not really sure what to do. To use this, there are some files in the system32 folder that are used by this program.

Basically its a program that allows sharing USB devices through TCP/IP (network or internet).

Thanks for your help
