Any ad-blocking availible for this? Any other bugs/reasons not to use this over microb?

f.ex if the deb is your MyDocs folder, you need to
dpkg -i ./MyDocs/arora_0.5_git20090302_armel.deb

Arora is a pretty good browser 
Here are some advantages/disadvantages comparing to Tear:
+ Arora handles all the forums and wikis that Tear has problems with...
+ Arora seems to handle cookies without any hacks, does it?
+ Arora has tabs
+ Arora has no theming problems
+ I like that Arora has smaler panels, and back button is located to the left side.
- If multiple windows open. closing one of them, closes everyone.
- Arora doesn't have a finger scroll
- Arora doesn't have a right-click
- It feels a bit slower than Tear, this is not a test result, just my feeling.
- Arora isn't completely hildonized, pressing the app-switcher button (F5) reloads the page.
And i think it's stupid that some links open in new window instead of a new tab.
EDIT: Arora does have a working download manager.

Arora - 600Kb
32Mb - for Qt engine - may be ...
But you can use another little Qt apps with him
I tried this with another app with 8MB of libraries.

(On BB Arora really refresh the page by F5, so there was an overlay with app-switcher button on NIT)

Right click is not working for me. 
Theming is also kinda weird. Qt theme is only working if i start arora as root. when ran by user, it tries to clone GTK style or something... I tried to fix the theming issue by installing some other Qt 4 related packages like kdebase-runtime, but it did not help. Thanks for the great browser anyway.
EDIT: More about the theme issue:
When started as root:
As a normal user :

Maybe a "strip" on the executable will reduce size. This can help significantly with fat C++ stuff.
You could temporarily uninstall one of these rendering engines to make space for libqt4-webkit. Xulrunner is 26 MB, libwebkit is 11 MB. Webkit-eal is 7,8 MB.
This is like saying Mozilla loads less fast than Internet Explorer on Windows 98SE. From a user experience perhaps correct, but technically incorrect given Internet Explorer was already mostly started on the OS.
