Webkit-based Arora browser hits v.10, now ships with AdBlock by default
by Lee Mathews Oct 6th 2009
Not familiar with Arora? It's a lightweight, cross-platform, open-source, Qt and Webkit-based browser. Brad first wrote about it back in July, and the development team has already rolled out one pretty significant addition.
Starting with v.10 -- which is now available for Windows, Linux, and Mac -- Arora ships with AdBlock pre-installed. Unlike Opera and Konqueror which allow for manual blocking by default, Arora utilizes subscription-based blocking out-of-the-box. Arora's developers claim this is a first for web browsers.
Arora also now includes a wallet (or password store) feature and a handy set of address completion hotkeys: ctrl + enter appends .com, ctrl + shift +enter adds .org, and shift + enter does .net. The new version also includes a number of bugfixes, which you can read about in more detail on the official blog.
Even with two fairly key additions, Arora remains very nimble and easy on system resources.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
