RE: Excellent initiative
It's also a great initiative for those of us who don't use KDE for a desktop, but like things like save and open dialogs with useful buttons and menus, not just pretty breadcrumb nav buttons for the...

I stand corrected then. I had thought it was missing some other bits, but apparently it isn't. Edit: According to to Arora site, disk cache isn't implemented until Qt 4.5 either. While you can get by...

I believe the Qt 4.5 snapshots have support for plugins. But you're right that the stable released 4.4 does not. I can't think of anything else that's missing though. Arora is already a reasonable...

you're forgetting something. mozilla itself is a platform. And it is a platform not just for all the extensions that you can only get for firefox but also other mozilla based apps like songbird

Depends how you define browser. The Arora browser, which is an improved version of the demo browser included with Qt 4.4 is about 10,000 lines of code, and it's fairly full featured. Getting a simple...

so that no matter what web stack you choose (for whatever reason) you can still decide to use Qt. Nokia is evidently working on making Qt a viable option everywhere.

That is only if there are changes to the underlying firefox or qt code. If your product is implemented as an extension or an add-on, then you're fine. I like all these little license workarounds....

No, the version of Webkit in Qt is unsuitable for building a full web browser in. I understand that it's missing a lot of features exposed by webkit itself that'd be needed for a fill browser UI, and...

not so.. people can easily build commercial products with it, and not have to pay trolltech anything..

Nokia, even outside of Trolltech, has been contributing a ton of stuff to WebKit, and Qt is using WebKit as its preferred engine.

From what I understand, you can create a full blown, history, bookmarks, back, forward, stop, refresh webkit browser with 100 lines of code in Qt. They have made it trivial to create a Qt browser. Why...

I don't know, maybe because Apple is too closed from Webkit.

I'm a bit intrigued by this. So many questions, did they skip Cairo, did they make the ui threaded? If they did I'll be looking very closely at what they have done. Either way I can pretty much...

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Why should someone prefer a rengering engine with worse performance than WebKit? On the desktop where it's not that significant, OK, but on mobiles?

A feature request on Bugzilla doesn't mean that it will be implemented. Mozilla has open requests that are in some cases older than 10 years! That one is from 2005. A brainstorming page in a wiki is no...
