Thread: Midori

Midori is an open source browser that works on the WebKit renderer. WebKit is the same engine that is used by Mac OS X's Safari, and is also being used 10 develop mobile phone browsers.

The Midori browser is also a part of the Xfce desktop environment. Midori does not come as an installation file, but instead in a .7z file containing the directly executable file. It is not implTssive to look at, but is intended to be fast and light. Similarly to K-Meleon, Midori uses only about 12 MB of RAM with one tab open.

The progress bar of Midori is directly displayed on the address bar with a rather old-fashioned look. To gel the best out of this browser you will need to Cllslomise it, but this might not suit everybody. It allows you to add styles, Netscape plugins and extensions, but you will have to do these manually, unlike other popular browsers.

Midori is a work in progress, but the developers are pretty enthusiastic about this open source browser and update it regularly.
