Same. Many years ago, I tried a bunch of low spec browsers, and Midori was the best one at the time.
All the others were really light and stripped down, which also made them pretty much completely incompatible with the modern web. So what exactly can you browse with them, if not the web, I was left wondering. Well, Midori was the best compromise. It’s very light, but still capable of doing things.
It is definitely a Firefox fork, the images of the UI are near identical to Firefox, and the one with addons shows the option to search addons.mozilla.org

Nice to see some competitors to Firefox, Chrome, and all their forks

It used to be webkit, but it was rebased on Firefox and uses Gecko now.
