Much has happened since Astian took the leadership of the Midori Browser, from reviving Midori using WebKit to Chromium with Electron to the Gecko engine in the ESR version, all this served to forge the path, to forge the team, our added value and the mettle of our work, today we announce one of the most important events in our history, the inclusion of MidoriVPN to offer a more private navigation, without censorship, without privacy issues.
What is MidoriVPN?
MidoriVPN is an open source VPN service that uses the Wireguard protocol as its basis, offering speed, security, privacy and transparency through strong encryption to users while browsing the Internet.
Who develops and manages the MidoriVPN service?
This service is completely developed by Astian, there are no third parties, although the code is open source, the infrastructure is maintained and supported by Astian same organization that develops the Midori Browser, like our philosophy with the browser we will never profile, capture or sell user information.
Will MidoriVPN be included in the Midori browser?
Yes, this will be one of our main features, the Midori browser will have its own VPN service making it one of the few browsers with its own VPN. And yes we say this with pride because we do not expose users to third party conditions, Brave uses Guardian, Opera has its own VPN but it is closed and its policies are unclear, Midori browser uses MidoriVPN free, auditable, upgradable and available to the community so that together we build a safer and more private web.
Will MidoriVPN have a cost?
