Midori is a lightweight web browser.
It use Webkit and GTK+2 as its rendering engine, and this project is still in heavy developement. So you may see many bugs.

Here's the steps to run the midori in Ubuntu.

1. Prerequisites

Requirements: GTK+ 2.10, Webkit 1.0, libXML2

  $ sudo apt-get install intltool libwebkit-dev libxml2-dev

NOTE: You may not find the libwebkit-dev package. Please edit the source.list under /etc/apt.
  $ sudo edit /etc/apt/source.list

Add 2 sources below
  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/stemp/ubuntu gutsy main
  deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/stemp/ubuntu gutsy main

Then update the package lists.
  $ sudo apt-get update

2. Get source files

  $ git clone git://git.xfce.org/kalikiana/midori

3. Build and run Midori

Fix the bugs that you may encounter.
