Dillo: A Tiny Graphical Web Browser

Re:Dillo: A Tiny Graphical Web Browser by Lennu on Tuesday October 20, 2015 @02:50AM (#10417794)

Got stable release from Ubuntu repositories with apt-get.

Most of the websites work, but are visually broken. Google seems to be working okay.

But the speed is super. It is like Firefox, Chrome and IE are these big slow monsters and Dillo is the little hero running around them.

Dillo shows pages, other process them.

That's their objective : http://www.dillo.org/funding/objectives.html

It does not work for "apps", but to read documents (the initial purpose of the web), it's excellent.

Dillo by default doesn't show pages if they're being served up using SSL:

> First of all, beware that this is a prototype in alpha state. It will only provide for very basic web page retrievals, POST and GET. There is no certificate caching and NO AUTHENTICATION performed.

> It's disabled by default.

In my mind that's a pretty big defect.

Something funny, even typing a URL without suggestions felt good. The locality frees my mind. It's ""just"" a HTML renderer. Nothing else.

My stable from Ubuntu repositories for 15.04 just gives me segmentation fault. It's a shame that bug tracker is currently broken. Gonna try with Ubuntu devs.
