Sounds interesting! +We last heard about Midori back when [AstianGO was integrated][1] into the open-source browser for providing a more privacy-friendly search experience. + +Even though **the Midori web browser has been around since 2007** , the development of it has seen its share of changes along the years, with the most major one being the merge with the [Astian Foundation][2] back in 2019. + +After the merge, Midori **was an electron-powered browser based on Chromium** with a few privacy protection features in the mix. + +However, Midori **has since parted ways with Chromium** for the next best thing, [**Gecko**][3], which you must've seen being used in browsers such as [**Firefox**][4], [**LibreWolf**][5], [**Tor Browser**][6] and more. + +Allow me to show you what the **Gecko-based Midori 11 release** has to offer. + +### Midori 11: What to Expect? + +![][7] + +Dubbed as the “ **fastest and lightest** ” version of Midori ever, this release has plenty of improvements to offer over its predecessors. + +Some key highlights include: + + * **Gecko-Based Revamp** + * **Visual Upgrades** + * **Workspaces Support** + + + +#### Gecko-Based Revamp + +![][8] + +According to the developers, **basing Midori on Gecko has resulted in up to 15% better performance** compared to Chromium-based browsers, and **a bigger 20% uptick in performance** when compared to older Midori versions. + +They also claim that **even though the memory consumption has increased** , they can still provide a lightweight and fast browsing experience. + +#### Visual Upgrades + +![][9] + +The most obvious visual change with Midori is the **new sidebar menu** that comes with all the usual browser options such as Bookmarks, History, Downloads, and Notes. Pretty useful, kind of like Vivaldi offers. + +There is also **support for WebApps** , by default, Midori includes the apps for **Google Translate** and **Astian Cloud**. + +You **can also add other apps** such as Telegram, WhatsApp Web, or even other websites that support such functionality. + +Then there are the **refreshed icons** across the browser, and **improved default themes** alongside the introduction of **two new themes, “Midori Fluerial UI” and “GNOME”.** + +![][10] + +Midori 11 also features **better tab management** , and **support for Light/Dark themes** , which can be set to follow your system's setting. + +![][11] + +#### Workspaces Support + +![][12] + +You must've noticed the “Work” title on all the screenshots above. Well, that is the **new “Workspaces” feature** in action. + +With Midori 11, you can now **use multiple workspaces to multitask effortlessly**. You will first have to enable it via the settings to get started. + +Go into the settings menu, then search for 'workspaces', then click on “Enable Workspaces”. + +Thereafter, you can go into the “Workspace Settings…” menu for tweaking it further and add new workspaces. + +![][13] + +You can also **set specific icons to the workspaces** to differentiate between them easily. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][14] + +When all is set, you can switch between the workspaces by clicking on them in the sidebar. + +![][15] + +Midori will even **backup your workspaces at random time intervals** so that you don't lose them in the event of an abrupt shutdown. + +Personally, I would like more web browsers based on Gecko, rather than Chromium. + +And with what I experienced in my short usage with Midori 11, I can say that this **has the** **potential to be an[ **open-source Chrome alternative**][16] for Linux**. + +That being said, **I did face some weird bugs** here and there, nothing a few patches can't fix, though. + +#### 🛠️ Other changes + +As for the rest of the improvements, here are some notable ones: + + * Midori now **supports OTA updates** , similar to what you see on Firefox. + * It is now **possible to import browser data** from browsers like Vivaldi, Opera, Chrome, etc. + * [**Multi-Account Containers**][17] support for sorting your browsing into different color-coded tabs. + * Native integration with its **MidoriVPN** and [**Astian Cloud**][18] **** services. + + + +You may go through the [official blog post][19] to learn more about this release. + +### 📥 Get Midori 11 + +This new Gecko-based release of Midori is available for **Linux** , **Windows** , and **Android**. You can head over to the [official website][20] to grab the package of your choice. + +[Midori][20] + +If you are interested in the source code, you can visit Midori's [GitLab repo][21] for that. + +I really hope they make it available on the [Flathub store][22] and the [Snap store][23] in the future for a more accessible experience for Linux users. + +_💬 Are you willing to give Midori 11.0 a try?
