However, positive comments around 2024 note improvements, faster speeds, and better features, with mentions of significant updates and support from Microsoft. The browser is appreciated for its light quality and open-source nature, yet its extension support and crash issues have been recurring criticisms.

I am impressed with the change that Midori has had, now it is faster, faster and much more stable, 100% recommended.

The Windows version is far from lightweight, in fact it consumes more memory than Firefox and Chrome. Stability issues as well as a dearth of extensions limits its use. A good project but not ready yet for serious users.

I'm impressed with the transformation of Midori compared to years ago. It has become a fully-featured browser with a lot of customization options. The features I liked the most are the WebApps and the smaller title bar compared to Firefox.

Recently (October 2024), Astian announced that Microsoft is supporting the Midori project, so I hope to see significant improvements in the future.

Updated 2024: It fell way behind slimjet and most of the browsers I tested it against for speed.
