Excellent News! Midori Browser to Integrate its Own Open Source Engine for a Strong Comeback
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Midori was a decently popular lightweight open-source web browser a few years back.
|
||||
|
||||
Some of us thought it was discontinued and did not know if it was active.
|
||||
|
||||
**Good news!**
|
||||
|
||||
**Midori web browser is active (in beta)** and [available][1] as a **free and open-source** offering.
|
||||
|
||||
It is an electron-powered browser based on Chromium without Google stuff and privacy protection features.
|
||||
|
||||
> 💡 In 2019, the project got discontinued and merged with [Astian][2] as a mobile browser, where we did not get immediate clarification if the browser would be making a comeback or remain open-source.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, with the upcoming update to the browser, they plan to integrate their own open-source search engine **AstianGO** with it. 🤯
|
||||
|
||||
This is somewhat similar to Brave (and its search engine), but **Brave Search is not open-source**.
|
||||
|
||||
### AstianGO: Open-Source Search Engine
|
||||
|
||||
In a [Reddit post][3], someone from Astian announced the plan to add an integrated open-source search engine, i.e., [AstianGO][4], in the Midori web browser with the next update.
|
||||
|
||||
The source code is not yet available and should be available through [this GitLab page][5].
|
||||
|
||||
![astiango][6]
|
||||
|
||||
The details are slim, but here's what they mention:
|
||||
|
||||
> We have implemented and developed a fully open source search engine, without the use of third-party APIs, which does not store the IP address of the users, does not store the search history. We have called this search engine, ****AstianGO****, this search engine is developed in PHP, it is self-hosting, although it does not have an integrated update system yet, people can deploy it on their servers.
|
||||
|
||||
The search engine uses data from Google, Qwant, and Brave Search to serve results. You can look at its [FAQ][7] to understand how it works.
|
||||
|
||||
Regarding other browsers, some have a privacy-focused search engine integrated, and some promise privacy protection features.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Sure, the search engine looks like a work in progress.
|
||||
|
||||
But, an **open-source web browser with a privacy-friendly search engine** (also open-source) is probably unknown to most users.
|
||||
|
||||
![midori browser][9]
|
||||
|
||||
Midori aims to change that with this addition.
|
||||
|
||||
### Midori Web Browser Status
|
||||
|
||||
That sounds all good, **but I think this is not adequately planned out.**
|
||||
|
||||
There is an **AppImage** and a **.deb package** available. It is also available for other platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
I tried to install the Midori browser (.deb package)from its [download page][10], and I could not install it on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS 🚫
|
||||
|
||||
The AppImage file worked ✅
|
||||
|
||||
The download page does not reflect all the information to inform Linux distro support; it just mentions "**Debian x64**" and is not entirely translated into English.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
So, **I'm not sure we can recommend using the browser yet**.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, considering it is in beta, you should not rely on it. You can explore its [GitLab page][12] to know more.
|
||||
|
||||
### Thoughts?
|
||||
|
||||
I think a new open-source search engine is a good thing. I'm still not sure about Midori web browser for Linux, I need to test things through to recommend it in future.
|
||||
|
||||
_Is the open-source search engine more exciting to you or the browser? Let me know your thoughts in the comments down below._
