I believe the original Midori was Firefox based but that may be wrong because that was many years ago.Is it Chrome or Firefox based?
@ponchale - Alfonso, welcome to linux.org
I will likely have some questions, too, on Midori, hope you do not mind.
First one is
Q. I note that the installation and first use of Midori generates a file in $HOME/.config

I already have a Mozilla account...i have had one for a long time....So....I signed in. All perfectly straightforward.
