New in Midori 11.1.3 (Dec 5, 2023)

  • Global Privacy Control:
  • One of the most important and significant tools for privacy is Global Privacy Control, this is a tool that helps users communicate their intention not to be tracked online. The GPC is designed to offer users another option to control their data from their browsers in this case in Midori. Although Midori is based on Gecko, this option was not active until version 11.1.3.
  • Secure connections:
  • In this version of Midori 11.1.3 we have implemented by default the HTTPS configuration for all sites, the path is also prepared for the update that will come with MidoriDNS

  • References to Mozilla:
  • Gecko is the engine that allows Midori to navigate the web. This engine is developed and used by Firefox. However, we have no relationship with this great organization. Therefore, in order to acquire technological independence, we have eliminated certain references among them:
  • Connections to Cloudflare DNS through Mozilla.
  • Reference to Mozilla Firefox support links.
  • Connection references to Mozilla servers and services.
  • Mozilla VPN promotion has been removed
  • Mozilla DoH connections have been disabled.
  • Memory Management:
  • We know that the lightness of Midori is one of the most important and essential points for many users, so for those users who have more than 8GB in RAM we have added an improvement that makes better use of memory in multimedia viewing, making May Midori be much more fluid.
  • Minor improvements:
  • New images for private browsing mode.
  • Improvement in the browser’s language selection list in the settings menu.
  • New parameters for importing data from other browsers.

New in Midori 11.1.2 (Nov 28, 2023)

New in Midori 0.5.8 (Apr 4, 2014)

  • Today is the day of Midori 0.5.8. Dedicated to Adblock and WebKit2. Rather than trying to meet fixed dates as we used to, we selected which goals define if the cycle is done. No more no less
  • As liked, fast and efficient our Adblock extension was, the original maintainer isn’t around anymore and flaws were accumulating on a code base that wasn’t very accessible anymore. So long story short Adblock is rewritten from C to Vala, several classes and files instead of one monolithic entity, plenty unit test cases and real whitelist support. Add to that a statusbar icon for easy flipping filtering on and off and seeing whether anything was blocked on the site. If you had problems with peculiar display problems whilst using Adblock, chances are good they’ll be gone with the upgrade. Adblock is as always shipped with Midori so just be sure to enable it in the Preferences
  • In other news WebKit2 is making another big jump and closer to the finish line. Text selection behavior, favicons, support for multiple rendering processes, opening new windows and setting cache and cookie paths correctly. There’s still work to do in the areas of extensions and downloads in particular, but we’re getting there
  • We have working spelling corrections again. Right-click an underlined word and pick a suggestion from the menu. It’s that simple
  • Two new extensions implement Ctrl+Enter to complete www. and .com and a handy little notes panel which automatically saves one or more snippets as you make changes
  • Aaaaaand we’ve got a brand new file type editor (MIME type on Linux). Finally the user is in control of how files open, either via the Preferences or the right-click “Open With…” menu item

New in Midori 0.5.7 (Jan 16, 2014)

  • Includes refactored tabs, better font defaults, and a number of smaller fixes.

New in Midori 0.5.4 (Jul 17, 2013)

  • Skipping versions is becoming a bit of a habit. Midori 0.5.4 is out, the reason is in part due to the version control move and in part to the new website. Overall nothing to worry about, development is going on as fast as ever as you can see in the changelog.
  • Error pages are looking quite a bit nicer now and also try to be more informative. Alexander popped out of nowhere to work on it and other little improvements to the speed dial.
  • Bookmarks are also improving at an increasing pace thanks to André. Several bigger changes are already in the pipeline for the next cycle.
  • Another worthy highlight are the increased minimum requirements. Glib 2.23.3, GTK+ 2.24, Vala 0.16.0 and WebKit 1.8.3 are required now. If you wonder why that’s good news consider the large chunks of backwards compatibility code we were able to drop, which paved the way for improving thumbnail generation and favicon handling among other things.
