Such a strange decision to completely replace the existing browser with Chromium, yet call it the same thing. They could have called the new one something like Orenji to keep with the Japanese color theme
Midori Browser's default search engine is AstianGo, this is a new search engine which protects the user's privacy.
Midori Browser is Reborn and comes back with a brand new look, based on chromium now, instead of GTK WebView in the past. It also comes back with cross-platform support and a new parent company: Astian.
When I WHOIS looked up this domain, it said this domain has 14 changes on 14 unique IP addresses over 6 years. And it also said this domain has 9 changes on 7 unique name servers over 16 years. It seems this company cannot be trusted. Further more,77 other sites are hosted on this server and this domain expires on 2023-07-19. I can't find who registered this domain either.
What would this give me that something like ungoogled chromium with uBlock Origin can't?
