I read Midori is based on Webkit. And I read that Webkit has blobs from Apple from this article:

I want to know if Midori from Trisquel has blobs or not. Maybe Midori itself don't have blobs but is based on Webkit wich has. So than Midori is corupted. Is it true or not?
The source article:

Assuming they are still there, aren't these blobs specific to OS X? I
don't see any in a WebKitGTK source archive.
From your article:
((All these WK* methods are undocumented, and they appear in binary blobs shipped along with the WebKit source (see the WebKitLibraries directory). There are now over 100 private “OS-secrets-only-WebKit-knows” in the library, many of which are referred to in a mostly comment-free header file.))
webkitgtk-2.0.4 source tarball doesn't include this directory, it is
specific to other operating systems. WebKitGTK 1.x and QtWebKit work
without them too, all these three ports work also on platforms surely
not supported by Apple and its blobs.
I just looked into the header files.
The nonfree code seems to handle Apple specific sandboxing, which does not work on free systems.
