Why did you have any trust in Midori to begin with? Last time I checked, Midori was just a blatant copy/paste of another opensource browser.

Was the "another" one any good?

The "another" is the Firefox based browser Floorp on which Midori is based on since 2023. (source)

Oh, so the base is actually a useful one!

Hehe, nice source.

I never had any trust. I just saw it recommended and checked it out.

I remember it from https://web.archive.org/web/20180611084610/https://www.midori-browser.org/ when I ran it on my Intel Atom single-core (with hyper-threading!)
