the #dillo browser after dealing with the loss of a core developer and the entire project going out and having to be revived by a new developer, as well as the original website being taken over by wordpress SEO slop...

released a new version after 9 years!!! and they are on fedi!

their website said to spread the word in order to support dillo, and you know what? i didn't know they were still at it, so now you know too. so go try it if you have some supremely crappy hardware, i know i do and dillo runs great on it.

thanks besties @dillo :steamhappy:

@neauoire I visited dillo's Web site, and discovered that a page from your old website is in their gallery.

@jame Quite, I referenced Devine because I believe it is his old site. If you Google 100 Rabbits today, the site that comes up has what appears to be more contemporary content.

@jame @dillo

I really want Dillo to work. I need a browser that's small and fast and does an okay job rendering documents.

@suetanvil @jame @dillo Same. I wonder what would be involved in compiling it for Windows?

@dillo @suetanvil @jame Ah, requiring an X server to run will make it inappropriate in many contexts. Maybe later? If it's a decent alternative Chrome it could get a lot of uptake.

@rodneylives @suetanvil @jame @dillo Building on Windows doesn't look like my idea of fun:

"Dillo can be built for Windows (tested on Windows 11) by using the Cygwin POSIX portability layer and run with Xorg ..." β€” github.com/dillo-browser/dillo

@scruss @rodneylives @suetanvil @dillo with WSL i simply follow the linux instructions and everything just works

@jame @scruss @suetanvil @dillo WSL is a gigantic install dependency, heh.

@jame @scruss @suetanvil @dillo I run Linux on a couple of machines though, and aspire to run it on my daily driver eventually.

@rodneylives @jame @scruss @suetanvil @dillo I've built #Dillo 3.1.0 on Windows 11 using #Cygwin without problems and it takes only 5MB of RAM on startup, but requires X Window Server.

@scruss @suetanvil @jame @dillo Yeah. But the project was just revived, give it some time.

@rodneylives @jame it's built on top of FLTK, which might be hard to unpick.

@suetanvil
if you need smol, maybe try NetSurf β€” netsurf-browser.org/

@scruss @rodneylives @jame

It looks like FLTK supports native Win32, so the Dillo issue seems more like a configuration problem on their end. It's likely that someone with sufficient Windows skills can get it to work as a native app.

@jame @dillo Okay, he very fast and light, but

Dillo supports a subset of HTML 4.01 and CSS 2.1 but it doesn't support JavaScript and only implements some elements of HTML 5 and CSS 3.


Most of the sites doesn't work witnout JS... (
