I had this stuff installed on my development machines for several reasons, the primary being testing.
So I was very sad when I figured that the Debian maintainer pulled the plug on the package at Buster, citing issues like abandonware and non-compilability with recent Vala and perhaps some other issues as well.
Of course, we have web or epiphany-browser or whatnot, and it works and is great, and of course I use Firefox as well, but I am freakin' tired with 100%+ CPU load, random tracking and analytics scripts, and this mayhem in general into what the web have turned recently, along with Angular, and so on, and thus there IS need for a totally cross-platform browser that doesn't mine Bitcoin, can not render a movie, or run PUBG using WASM, but is usable at a HTML5/CSS3 level, fast, and modest.
So that I try and fix some issues, and perhaps even make a few attempts at enhancements. But Vala is my native language just like Klingon was Shakespeare's, so I do my best not to promise anything.

Midori is a fast little WebKit browser with support for HTML5. It can manage many open tabs and windows. The URL bar completes history, bookmarks, search engines and open tabs out of the box. Web developers can use the powerful web inspector that is a part of WebKit. Individual pages can easily be turned into web apps and new profiles can be created on demand.
A number of extensions are included by default:
- Adblock with support for ABP filter lists and custom rules is built-in.
- You can download files with Aria2 or SteadyFlow.
- User scripts and styles support a la Greasemonkey.
- Managing cookies and scripts via NoJS and Cookie Security Manager.
- Switching open tabs in a vertical panel or a popup window.
