Wow, yeah that was a long time ago...definitely grab the newest version using the WebKit and Midori PPAs. It's really great and it's GNOME too. I find it to be much faster and sleeker than Epiphany, and seems to have more features. IMHO, it's just designed better. It is certainly not ready to take on Firefox, but in the long term, it certainly could. I would encourage everyone to give it a shot using the newest version Midori (or Epiphany) vs. Firefox What would Midori need to replace Firefox? It has plugin support, so let's forget about the number of actual plugins (similar to Empathy vs Pidgin, it would be unreasonable to expect that gap to close before we make a change), since the major ones seem to have been ported. What does Firefox have that Midori doesn't which keeps it from being the default browser in Ubuntu? (Let's also forget for this discussion that Epiphany is the default for GNOME and pretend that Midori just replaced it)
