I did it! I compiled Dillo+ for Mac. It was a challenge, took me some time figuring things out.

github.com/crossbowerbt/dillo-

My review: it is fun, but completely unstable. So many websites just crashed the browser. It wasn't rare at all. I would have been fine with it lacking like 90 % of web standards, but I expected it to at least not crash every so often. The window focus logic also is wrong for some reason?

Thread. There are pictures in the replies.

Putting some notes on the Dillo family in my #DigitalGarden:

Next time I should try compiling NetSurf, which seems to be all the rage now in the smolweb!

@bouncepaw seeing the merveilles screenshot here really makes me want to try building a javascript-less web-based mastodon client πŸ€”

Dillo browser

@bouncepaw Thanks for the tests. Dillo should build properly for Mac (it is routinely built by the CI), but is not tested on actual hardware for the lack of it.

I would like to know if Dillo (from github.com/dillo-browser/dillo) also segfaults on a Mac for you, or is only happening in the Dillo+ fork. I tested your sites on Linux and they open correctly.

Gemini, Gopher and other protocols are provided by plugins in Dillo in case you want to try them too: dillo-browser.github.io/#plugi
