Just to share my opinion since its rare around here. I don't mind using Google products even if they are collecting my data. I have nothing to hide, and I am trained to ignore ads.

Nice black and white design.

I would remove the light grey bars behind the logos.

Clicking on the images at the bottom should open the respective website instead of the image.

The "why" page should mention amp. Instead of ranking websites by user friendlyness, via boosting amp they rank them by affiliation with Google. I think that is the most evil thing Google did so far.

I have been using Firefox for several years now. Energy management is still an unsolved problem on MacOS (Firefox 71 on 10.14.6). They have been making improvements in the last several releases, but "Avg Energy Impact" remains around 40 for me (when browsing web pages, higher when streaming video).

I also noticed how different colors are between Chrome and Firefox. That becomes more obvious in the dark mode.

I don't think it makes much sense to mix it all up.

You don't like google? Well don't use it. And yes, adblocking makes sense to avoid googleads.

But the browser is something different. And to avoid the googleintegration of chrome but like the browser like me (mostly for dev tools) just use chromium.

Also, some remarks on the site makes it less trustworthy

"Midori includes private browsing which is said to be “totally anonymous” and fast."

No it is not. Neither totally anonymous nor very fast. Quite sluggish for me.
