I like Midori, so it was quite a surprise for me to find they had a new version and sponsor. I went to the link above and got myself a copy. Only, I could not get it downloaded at first. You get a pop-up with some licence garbage, and nothing happens. Clicking all over in the block almost had me give up when I clicked a slightly darker square and it downloaded. (It is a lot harder to see depending on screen brightness). | I like Midori, so it was quite a surprise for me to find they had a new version and sponsor.

- | When it comes to things being sponsored by large companies, I know it is a business decision. The business of a company is to make money. How do they make money off a free product? Yes, that’s right, by selling you. This faffing with the download window had me taking a gander at the privacy policy. It’s not that I expected anything different. Even if they say they do not do X, they do, they all lie. We can look at all the no-log VPN companies who have all been caught selling your logs or even saving them for the three letter government agencies.

+ | Midori me plaît et cela m’a beaucoup surpris quand j’ai découvert qu’ils avaient une nouvelle version avec un nouveau sponsor. J’ai suivi le lien ci-dessus et j’en ai téléchargé un exemplaire. Mais, au départ, je n’arrivais pas à le télécharger. Il y a une fenêtre expliquant la licence (plutôt du charabia) et rien ne se passe. Ayant cliqué un peu partout sur la page sans résultat, j’étais prêt à abandonner. Mais alors, j’ai cliqué sur une case légèrement plus sombre et il s’est téléchargé. (Selon la luminosité de l’écran, elle peut être très difficile à voir.) | ||

I tried both the .deb-file and the AppImage. The operation seems identical in both cases. I did not have a USB authentication token to test on the AppImage, so I don’t know if it will work, but I suspect not, as all the other browsers in a sandboxed environment do not support it either. There are no tool tips if you hover over a tab, so there is no way of quickly seeing what is in that tab, other than clicking on it. | I tried both the .deb-file and the AppImage.

- | From what I gather, it is based on Electron, which means a Chrome base. To test, I went to the Chrome web store, downloaded some add-ons, and installed them. They all worked perfectly. This just seems like a long way around to use Chrome. Or maybe, it is to add all their spying ... erm telemetry options on top of that of Google. As you can tell, my trust in this product is a fat zero. This is amplified by all the “privacy” quotes on the home page that mean about as much as a politician’s promises. | + | From what I gather, it is based on Electron, which means a Chrome base.

- | I have been running it for a while now and it seems to run on par with Chromium and/or Brave in memory usage and speed, but slower than Slimjet. The thing that differentiates it, is the integration. It looks more like a Gnome product. This makes it aesthetically pleasing, which is a big (and its only) plus, but the immediate minus to that is that right-clicking an address is blocked, meaning I have to resort to highlighting it and use CTRL+C to copy it.

- | For dumb normies, this is probably OK, but if you are a Linux user, this is not. A company who wants my email, my mobile, and my social media, is probably up to no good. I say probably, as it is 99% assured, but there is that 1%.... Oh who am I kidding? | + | J’ai essayé et le fichier |
- | The takeaway here is; Midori-ng is not Midori. It is another hoovering application trying to cash in on the information-selling business.

I would have trusted them more if they were upfront about it and not faking all the privacy notices on their home page. For the love of Mike, do not install the Android application!

+ | Ce dont il faut se souvenir ici, c’est que Midori-ng n’est pas Midori. C’est une autre application d’aspiration qui essaie de faire de l’argent avec la vente d’informations. C’est vrai que c'est une industrie à multi-milliards de dollars et Astian n’essaie que d’obtenir sa part du gâteau. Je leur aurais fait davantage confiance s’ils l’avaient dit tout de suite au lieu de créer des notifications bidons de la protection de la vie privée sur leur page d’accueil. Pour l’amour de Dieu, n’installez pas l’application Android ! Je suis allé à la page du code source et elle était vide, ce qui me fait croire que Midori-ng n’est pas Open Source non plus (https:// | ||
