Midori, a lightweight and fast web browser, just released version 0.5.8 with great improvements on Adblock and WebKit2.

According to the release note, Midori 0.5.8 added or fixed:

• A statusbar icon for easy flipping filtering on and off and seeing whether anything was blocked on the site.
• If you had problems with peculiar display problems whilst using Adblock, chances are good they’ll be gone with the upgrade
• WebKit2 is making another big jump. Text selection behavior, favicons, support for multiple rendering processes, opening new windows and setting cache and cookie paths correctly.
• Spelling corrections: Right-click an underlined word and pick a suggestion from the menu.
• Two new extensions implement Ctrl+Enter to complete www. and .com and a handy little notes panel which automatically saves one or more snippets as you make changes.
• Brand new file type editor (MIME type on Linux). Finally the user is in control of how files open, either via the Preferences or the right-click “Open With…” menu item.

For details, read the official announcement.
