Midori 0.2.6 A Fast and Lightweight Browser for Linux

Midori is a lightweight browser based on GTK+ 2 and WebKit and puts an emphasis on speed and simplicity. Midori's biggest selling points are great desktop integration and a rock solid web rendering engine. Midori means ‘green’ in Japanese and it’s a name that suits it well, the browser is light and fast. 


Midori is lightning fast browser. It loads pretty fast, depending on how many tabs you have open, and it shuts down instantly. Moving from tab to tab is seamless even with a large number of tabs. Its swiftness rivals that of Google Chrome’s, is largely regarded as the speed king across all platforms, so that’s saying something. If performance is an issue for you, whether you’re on an underpowered machine or netbook or just want to keep things light and fast, Midori surely for you.

But is based on WebKit. That means that, not only is it fully standards-compliant, it also comes with great support for HTML5 and one of the fastest and most popular rendering engines around. So most of the problems with compatibility can be ‘fixed’ with a very simple trick, just change the user agent of the browser.
Go to Preferences > Network and choose either Safari (since it’s also based on WebKit) or Firefox. This won’t solve all of your problems, some websites still won’t work, partially or even at all. It’s a shame too, but the developers can’t really do that much about this, it comes with the territory when you’re a small-time web browser.

Midori is surprisingly good. It’s fast, it’s light and looks great with GNOME or XFCE. It’s faster than Firefox and on par, subjectively, with Google Chrome. It’s a much tighter fit for your desktop environment than Firefox, not to mention Chrome. And it also comes with the great WebKit rendering engine. Stability doesn’t seem to be an issue so far, like it was in earlier builds. It’s only real but minor downside is the lack of extensions. There are a few built-in, but nothing on the scale of Firefox or even Chrome. It does support Greasemonkey scripts though.
