Repo Review: Midori
Midori is a fairly lightweight web browser focused on privacy and security. First released in 2007, it originally used the WebKitGTK web rendering engine and was well regarded as a lightweight and efficient web browser. Then, in 2019 it was acquired by Artisan, Inc who have now based it off of a Japanese web browser known as Floorp Browser, which is in turn based off Mozilla Firefox. As such, most of Midori's features are currently just inherited from Floorp Browser. This new Midori, however, is a massive change from the old generation, and offers many compelling features.
Artisan, Inc is the small US based company that now develops Midori. According to their website, it was "...created with the purpose of developing free software and technologies, respecting the privacy of users and allowing them to have control of their data and information." Apart from Midori, they also seem to offer a cloud storage service, and are working on a VPN service with browser integration. They are also developing their own private search engine called ArtisanGO, but this seems to be inaccessible at the time of writing.
