Will do.
Getting acquainted now. Did deactivate the sidebar, I have no use for it although I can see the point of it.
Did some generic settings changes, imported bookmarks from HTML file, all basic FF stuff.
Container tabs installed and workin great. SO cool it comes with the installation of Midori. I love that way of thinking.
I must admit it loads pages faster than FF does, especially 'heavy pages' with lots of thumbnails. Youtube is a good example. Scrolling through pages is also way smoother.
So far, so good. Big thumbs up so far!

I think I just switched browsers. Not even a week in yet. This thing is amazing!
As a staunch FF user for as long I can remember, Midori at first glance is 'nothing special' and after trimming it to suit my needs or whatever the browser is nothing more than s slick looking FF. Lol, it's really not. It's FF and then some.....
I'm not even touching all the small stuff Midori comes with, plenty before me who already did that so why bother, lol. No, the One reason I'm seriously considering switching is this:
It outperforms the OG FF on all fronts. Period. There's no two ways about it. The overall web experience is so much smoother, pages load faster (way faster), scrolling is smoother, font rendering is sharper. The performance of this thing is spectacular. Occupies just about the same amount of RAM as FF.
It's really good!

And if you want a really good comparison with what you have described above, give LibreWolf a run.
This link will walk you through the process:

I have been running LibreWolf a couple of times but it never impressed me. It annoyed me tho! Something about this browser rubs me the wrong way and to be honest a bit hyped recently. But we digress. So to be back on-topic: Midori is awesome and that's the end of it.And if you want a really good comparison with what you have described above, give LibreWolf a run.

Personally, I did not like that fact that WebRTC blocking did not work irrelevant of settings, clearing history, cache did not work, last site loading in the new session. This may be fixed already (I contacted Midori devs about this).
o.k. just installed Midori browser again: question: what's different from unsecured Firefox?
uninstalled.
reason: Still loads last visited pages so the settings that should clean history do not work, settings that force memory only cache do not work. This is not acceptable.
Then at the end just another FF fork.. less secure

Well, I'm not using Midori or FF for secure browsing, just for generic browsing a few forums, youtube, etc. When I really need a secure browser or want to do research and so on I rely on Mullvad and nothing else.
But Midori can be made as secure as any 'security' fork out there so the security argument is not really valid. Unless one uses any browser OOTB and cannot be bothered to tweak things.
Nope, I use midori 'cuz it's fast and stable to use. The issues mentioned here above is something I haven't encountered. Yet.
I have Midori AppImage...the other day I opened it and was told an update was available...it said I won't loose any settings.
I downloaded it and guess what...I didn't... it's exactly the same but updated.
