Recently, I put CentOS 6.4 on one of the four PCs I keep behind a KVM switch. I like it a whole lot in most ways, but Fedora has spoiled me : I install almost every browser I can, and generally keep half a dozen or more open, mostly with several tens of tabs open. Iow, I use browsers as I used to use books, back in the Carboniferous when I had a desk in the stacks.
Are there ways a subtechnoid can run Arora, Dillo, Epiphany, Konqueror, Midori, Kazehakase, Rekonq, Opera, and Pan on this CentOS -- without falling into the bad old pit of dependency hell?

Wow, I thought I knew many different browsers!
Arora: If you mean Firefox Aurora, alpha software is axiomatically not supported by CentOS. You can go to https://www.mozilla.org/en- US/firefox/all-aurora.html and download it there.
Konqueror: Install kdebase.
Pan is a newsreader, not a Web browser.
I can't help with the others. For your purposes, Debian might be a better distribution.

I think the OP means arora, as typed. It's a lightweight, fairly simple browser. I have it installed, but running rpm -q indicates that it's from a Mandriva rpm, and frankly, I don't remember where I got it, I might have rebuilt it at some point. Dillo should be fairly easy to find for CentOS. I see I have that too--ah, Ok, seems as if it had a spec file and I built it.

Ah yes: https://code.google.com/p/arora/downloads/list . The latest version is 0.11.0, so again it's by definition something CentOS wouldn't support.

if its not in RHEL, it doesnt belong in the CentOS repository, anyways.
packages like these belong somewhere like EPEL or RepoForge or whatever.

I've never found Fedora to be too terribly unstable when I've used it. You may have a choice to make, use Firefox and Chromium (since Johnny is awesome and packages it for EL6) on CentOS or reinstall Fedora and have access to a larger selection of bleeding-edge software.
And although slightly hokey, you could always have CentOS on bare metal and Fedora in a VM for the days where you feel like running Arora or Midori, etc.

Third party repo, if the packages exist.
Slightly OT, I believe Kazehakase is a dead project [0] [1].

As John Pierce said, these packages are something EPEL or another third-party repo would package and provide.
