Lightweight QtWebKit-based browser, Orange Helium by Orange Labs.
There’s a new Qt browser from Orange Labs called Orange Helium. Orange Labs began working on this around 2010 ad the result is a light weight Qt WebKit based browser.
At the time Orange Labs was working on this, the only mobile port of Qt Quick was on the Nokia N900/Maemo 5 so that’s where development was targeted. Orange devs were trying as much as possible of QML working on experiments comparing QML vs C++ performance.
In just a few short weeks, the browser had reached a decent enough maturity and developed a couple of candidate UIs. The browser was demoed on the MeeGo CE for N900.
The app is light and simple but still a useful browser.
