Midori Browser arrives in headless mode

We are proud and excited about the innovation and evolution of Midori. The new version 11.5 of Midori brings a feature that will transform the way developers and businesses use browsers: support for headless mode. This advancement consolidates Midori as a versatile tool not only for end users, but also for automated applications and development environments.

What is headless mode?

The headless mode allows the browser to run without a graphical interface, making it an ideal choice for tasks that require automation, such as web application testing, screenshot generation, data scraping and website monitoring. In this mode, Midori continues to execute HTML, CSS and JavaScript code, ensuring a full browsing experience, but without the need for a visible window.

Benefits of using Midori in headless mode

• Exceptional Performance

Midori is renowned for its low resource consumption and in this 11.5 version, Midori takes this efficiency to the next level with its headless mode implementation. By eliminating the need to render a graphical interface, the browser significantly reduces CPU and memory usage, making it ideal for resource-constrained environments or for running multiple instances in parallel. This is especially useful for teams running massive testing or large-scale scraping tasks.

• Enhanced Privacy and Security

Midori has always been a champion of privacy, and headless mode is no exception. Requests made in this mode are protected by the same advanced security measures that Midori is known for, including tracker blocking, fingerprinting protection and robust end-to-end encryption. In addition, this mode is ideal for executing sensitive tasks without exposing data on a visible interface.

• Efficient and Flexible Automation

Midori 11.5’s headless support includes integrations with popular automation tools such as Selenium and Puppeteer. This facilitates the execution of high-quality automated tests and ensures compatibility with modern software development workflows. In addition, its simple configuration allows developers to quickly integrate it into existing projects.
