Arora is a discontinued free and open-sourceweb browser developed by Benjamin C. Meyer.[2][3][4][5] Arora is available for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, FreeBSD, OS/2, Haiku,[6]Genode, and any other operating system supported by the Qt toolkit. Arora's name is a palindrome.

Tenfourfox turns your Apple into a Happy Bunny! So to pick your beta flavor of tenfourfox v6 to download, go here. For downloads from google code, which may be faster, choose this but you must know which processor you have or the wrong choice will not perform as expected. UPDATE: See this later post about Firefox 7 for PPC Apples. TenFourFox: A fork of Mozilla Firefox for the Power Macintosh and Mac OS X Tiger PowerPC New technologies at the heart of the system make your Power Mac more reliable, capable and responsive — and lay the foundation for future innovations.

TenFourFox is not an official Mozilla product and is not a Mozilla-maintained build of Firefox. TenFourFox is an essential web browser for any Mac OS X user that is still using a PowerPC machine. It’s a fork of Mozilla that is practically identical to Firefox 4, the only difference is that it includes support for PowerPC chips, meaning you’ll get all the CSS3 and HTML5 support that Firefox 4 comes with, and perhaps more importantly.

The browser's features include tabbed browsing, bookmarks, browsing history, smart location bar, OpenSearch, session management, privacy mode, a download manager, WebInspector, and AdBlock.[7]

Meyer discontinued development of Arora due to strictures of non-compete clauses by his employer.[8] Another software developer, Bastien Pederencino forked Arora's source code, and published a variant called zBrowser – renamed Zeromus Browser in February 2013. Later in 2013, Pederencino published another variant called BlueLightCat. In 2014, some new patches were released on Arora's github project page, with some Linux distributions incorporating the changes in their individual versions of Arora packages in their repositories.[9]In 2020, Arora was forked again by another developer, Aaron Dewes, and a variant named 'Endorphin Browser' was published, with the goal of modernizing Arora and adding new features.[10]
