I had exactly the same thought yesterday !!!
from a pm yesterday
from a pm yesterday
I came across Midori thanks to a link posted by @MikeWalsh .....it looked like this:

It was included in this topic:
I am forever grateful, Mike
I have used Firefox, brave, Chromium, internet explorer, (yes, I am that old), and lots more
The last time I was excited was when the first time I used brave browser.
It was fast (and still is), and just didnt have the bs and crud that firefox had accumulated.
It was like a breath of fresh air at the time
That freshness has faded...brave is not the browser it was 4 years ago (approx)
Midori is an absolute breath of fresh air....and the current browser market desperately needed that.
I have zero to less than zero interest in where Midori came from or was associated with......I could not give a rat's ....
I am interested in the here and now
Midori promises what the browser using public want. If they fail to deliver they will sink.
Members and guests who read all this need to keep in mind...Midori is still being developed....and therefore the little holes in it will be apparent.
Move on from the little stuff. They will fix it. Make the comment, but do not condemn it just because you can. Make a note of the place to file a bug etc... @ponchale ...input re a link to support would be good.
The support icon the astian page is not responsive

email support: [email protected]
is that one responsive?
Help in the application menu goes to Firefox Support
There is a "share idea and feedback' there....which is 'live'...goes direct to astian.
That will get some use.
Any other?
We are aware of our origin, but my dear friend Ubuntu was born from Debian, Nextcloud was born from OwnCloud, Bliss was born from AOSP, and as many examples, the Floorp license supports us as well as the Mozilla license and any open source license, are seeing the difference I will tell you the differences.
Thank you.
- We developed our own search engine so as not to expose users' privacy.
- We have removed the Google API from Midori, we no longer send data to Google through their Browser Safe API.
- For more than a year we have been working on our own synchronization service removing Mozilla's by default.
- We are developing our own VPN service See our repository.
- We are developing productivity tools that revolve around Midori, Notes, Contacts, Cloud, Calendar, all open source, no sale of information no tracking completely free and we do not plan to close the code of any of our services.
- We don't fight with other browsers regardless of their origin or their base, on the contrary we are fighting with the big techs so that the small ones have a chance, we recently joined the Browser Choice Alliance.
- The market is a vast blue ocean, meaning there is opportunity for everyone.
most likely not there.....there is no link in Linux Mint's Software ManagerI'll have to check the Easy OS repos
Problem no.1 if Midori is Floorp derivative, where's the info
Example: https://librewolf.net/
Librewolf is Firefox based
Problem no. 2 if Midori is Floorp derivative then security issues as mentioned in one of the links I provided stand
Notes: search engine? why?
VPN? This is the idea as broken as in the case of Firefox VPN: no sane person will use it (one reason being compartmentalization)
seems like https://astian.org/midori-dns/ is broken

seems like https://astian.org/midori-dns/ is broken by the way.
so we will continue to improve with every comment and criticism
How do you expect to fund the project?
Any large project is going to require outside funding or a benefactor, given enough time and popularity.
I think that mentioning Floorp on your main page would be honest.Midori-DNS is updating this information as we migrate,
2 information on Floorp is in our repository, I invite you to visit it because we fully comply with the legislation that indicates the license.
3) VPN for you obsolota excellent, it is your opinion and point of view is completely respectable, we will continue working by the users and for the users.
4) Yes, of course, search engines as well as web browsers need web search engines that respect the users, where the product is not the users, https://astiango.co.
The great thing about this context (technology) is that it is constantly evolving and updating, so we will continue to improve with every comment and criticism, I love the criticism has allowed us to improve and continue to improve and I appreciate your point of view is respectable, we will continue working to be an independent browser in every sense of the word.

No, I never said that VPN is obsolete. What I said is that VPN requires separate setup from anything else so it should not be identified with browser. It should be separated from email, browsing and any networking service.
Also, if I need an account/registration then this defies reasoning for privacy.
Your project - as mentioned by @KGIII - is spanning over a lot of topics. So, I will be glad to hear about the financial resources.
I understand that Midori is a work in progress of course.
Have you tried running it with --password-strore=basic as an arg? Works for me and should do in all Chromium browsers. It won't affect the keyring outside that session of that browser AFAIK -- I always browse private and have my own password manager, so I have no need of keyring at all, which forced me to do some searching (this was before I could ask an AI, lol).I have been using brave... It has been consistently plagued with the 'the keyring was not unlocked...
Yes...been there .....worn the Tshirt out.Have you tried running it with --password-strore=basic as an arg
