Midori Web-Browser Ported To Wayland

Written by Michael Larabel in Wayland on 26 April 2013 at 06:47 PM EDT. 6 Comments

The lightweight GTK-based WebKit-powered Midori web-browser should now be running natively on Wayland.

It was shared on the Wayland mailing list that the browser should now work on Wayland, which uses WebKitGTK+ for rendering.

However, it isn't too clean right now since Midori depends upon GTK3+ and WebKitGTK+ code not yet found in a released version of these dependencies but just patches atop their respective code-bases.
