@xtaran We are in charge of Midori, the creator of Midori gave us the project to keep it alive with the pillars and values of him.

@astian @xtaran for clarity: this was the result of an *acquisition*, not a *handover* - is this correct?

This was the result of a handover, in order to give continuity to the project, and this took place on January 1, 2019 after months of discussions.

@astian @xtaran sorry, I'm not following. Did Astian, that I see is funded by Microsoft, purchase Midori (acquisition) or did it receive it as a gift (handover) from its original creator? For the sake of being open, this should be clear. I am struggling to see the 'continuity' on this project, it went from a Webkit light browser to a Firefox derivative. Care to clarify?

@xtaran this smells like the Dillo situation, at least regarding the questionability level…

So there are now two different open source browsers named #Midori?

Might be best to treat it as that, at least at first.

WTF is happening in the small GUI browser scene…

Well, as Midori was a pretty barebones browser, that can just get better! I will try it in no time!
