I would like to add a little more information.

As noted in the upstream bug [1], Midori currently lacks a certificate
manager and an accurate certificate verification mechanism.

[1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/midori/+bug/706857

Moreover, the color of the location bar is sometimes misleading: it
happens that it becomes red ("Not verified"), and then, after clicking
on the little (i) icon, it becomes yellow ("Verified and encrypted
connection") upon reloading the page. Sometimes the opposite happens
(a page is considered verified, but turns into non-verified after
clicking on the little locker icon).

I hope that these issues may be solved very soon.
Midori is a nice lightweight web browser with a great potential, but a
modern browser cannot afford lacking proper SSL certificate management
and verification!
