@dragonmouth,

Thanks for your comment and for sharing the article.

You’re right — since Midori joined Astian, there have been concerns about the clarity of their privacy policies. While it remains a lightweight, open-source option, users should always review privacy terms carefully — as no browser is perfectly secure, not even Tor.

We’ll consider updating the article to include this context. Appreciate the thoughtful input!

Since Midori became part of Astian (2019), there have been questions as to how secure it is. See the following article:

It seems Astian privacy policies are somewhat vague and wishy-washy.

Of course few, if any, of today’s browsers are totally secure. There are questions even about Tor.
