As much as I like Midori, the webkitgtk browser is broken for some
people (including me).
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97101
It *simply* crashes on
launchpad.net (Midori's site) and
duckduckgo.com
(default search engine).
Since I suspect this affects people with single core CPUs (or some
missing feature they have) I doubt it will be fixed.
So I can't use it but I opened a bug report about a new feature (or lack
of) in 0.4.7. It removes the setting of how to display buttons (icon
only, text and icon etc.) when the DE has a setting for that (Xfce
included).
IMO, that's a lame 'design' decision. It can be worked around by
launching the browser with something like (IIRC)
unset DESKTOP_SESSION midori
This issue will mostly affect new users as the old users that had set
the button option will have it followed.

Just posting in case it affects someone (for large screens it probably
doesn't matter so much).
At least Christian resisted to make GTK3 default. webkitgtk3 browser is
even worse in my machine.
