Checking out Midori on a Sparky Openbox install. Debian based, testing. The Midori version here are 0.5.11.

So far nothing to report, but are a bit sceptic. Last time I tried Midori it crashed, crashed, and eventually it crashed again!  ;D

No crashing so far, but Midori did not play well, really not at all, with youtube.  :-\

But the fox fix`d that!  ;D

I just set up a PC with the new Firefox. They have changed the preferences menu. Look very carefully to make the changes you usually make! Still the same good browser.

Totally agree, right now Opera it's the best browser in all accounts.

I've been trying to find a browser that works for 32 bit that does not make the cpu fan go nuts. Will check out Opera.

This article might be of interest for Opera users. It is a little bit old, but thought it could be of interest anyway.
