Fast, light web browser based on WebKit
Besides the web browsing big shots like Internet Explorer and Firefox, there are other minor, more experimental web browsers you can try out, like Midori.
Midori is based on WebKit, the same layout rendering engine used by Safari, Mac's default web browser. It offers standard features such as a tabbed interface, support for bookmarks, browsing history and a customizable built-in search engine. It's also surprisingly fast, and doesn't require installation – you can even run it from a USB key.
On the downside, you can easily tell Midori is still under development: the program doesn't support Flash yet, and some options are disabled or simply don't work. In any case, a handy standalone browser well worth a try,
Midori is a fast, lightweight web browser based on WebKit that doesn't require installation, though still in development.

Cons: Well it didn' t work More

Even on a PC that could not be updated in ten years, this browser works!.
I put it on an old HP PC that could no longer support IE or Chrome. Love it! It is the only reason I can still run that old computer!
Pros:
Ease of Use
Cons:
I've found nothing lacking for me. More

fast confidential browser but still unfinished. .
Midori is generally OK. You can watch videos and listen to music with no problems. You can easily chose your search engine. One of the big cons is that it messes up my private message Facebook page. It wants to scroll up all the way till the first message. It's very annoying. And, the adds sometimes overlay on the page content.
Pros:
i read it is more confidential than the other browsers...
Cons:
Crash from time to time for no reason. There should be a button "new tab" on the tab bar instead of besides the back page button: it would be more ergonomic. More
