Helium Mobile Browser is a lightweight QML/Qt mobile browser by Orange Labs UK.

Objective
Build a WebKit based browser using Qt and all the cutting edge related technologies (like QML). The work takes into focus 3 areas:
  • Browser Chrome, focused on User Experience and Usability
  • Browser Core, focused on the WebCore functionalities that are already in WebKit and, possibly, building in advance some of them
  • Browser Extensions, focused on designing a Framework to implement mini-in-browser apps, to deliver small, focused services

Key features
  • Support flash and java plugin
  • HTML5 support (Websockets...)
  • Acid3 100% (thanks to QtWebkit)

FAQ
  • How to zoom? Use arrow keys (left and right)
