For many reasons I am not using Firefox. For some things the alternative that works best is chromium, but it is a very big programme, and it can get quite slow. You are also locked into the Google ecosystem.

And sometimes that is not wise. I have been trying and using a bunch of alternates — including opera (which slows down and bloats with hard usage) epiphany (erratically crashes) and even pale moon (don’t. at least on Linux, don’t: it is available but it is flakey).

Which brings me to Midori. First of all, it does what I want it to do in HTML. It renders stuff. Fast.

It is able to handle multimedia.

And it scores fairly well on the HTML5 scoresheet.

Finally, it plays nicely with wordpress: I am writing this on the site. Midori is cross platform, and it is worthwhile considering as your main browser. At least in Arch, it allows you to have a private session for confidential stuff, which means that (although I would use Chromium for forms and zotero) it has a place for telepsychiatry and e-therapy.

Well worth considering as people move from Firefox.
