Arora is just a yet another interface for webkit; it takes over an order of
magnitude more disk space than dillo+fltk, and I guess it has memory usage
in that region as well.

On the other hand, Dillo's support for CSS and such is sketchy at best.
There's no javascript or anything of that kind as well.

Another thing is, Arora is dead upstream and no one stepped in to revive it.
