Midori Image

Midori’s logo and icons are renewed, to give a new image to Midori, we have changed the logo and all the icons related to Midori, allowing a better and more memorable image.

AstianVPN

Although still in alpha and very soon beta phase, we have enabled the registration of users in our AstianVPN service, a service that will be integrated in the Midori browser, a service based on Wireguard and soon available for other protocols.

The work we are doing will allow integrating AstianVPN with Midori without having to make extra configurations, with just one click users will be able to enable and disable VPN browsing.

A special new feature is the ability to search for maps, enabling Astian Maps, which will also be available from Midori.

Security and Privacy

Among the many privacy and security enhancements we highlight the following:

1. Integrated DNS browsing by default, maximizing privacy by allowing you to block trackers, and maximizing security.
2. Built-in ad blocker but it is disabled, the user has to activate it manually.
3. HTTPS is enabled by default, allowing to improve security, avoiding dangers on the web.

Performance

Thanks to the adjustments and internal configurations in Midori, we have achieved a significant increase in the performance of Midori between 20 and 30%, it should be noted that the more modern the CPU will be more noticeable performance and speed, however this performance is applicable to any type of desktop device.
