was dillo.org

A lightweight web browser.

I thought it had hope but needed significant work.

• 2022-07-12 – Apparently abandoned

  • The website is down
  • the source code archive as of 202201280 shows the last activity at 2021-02-09. It was a small change and the update previous to that was 2018-10-05.
  • The mailing list archive doesn’t tell me enough because it’s an old snapshot.

• 2017-12-10 – (versions not recorded) on Windows 10

  • This has been in my toolkit for some time. The early ones had a habit of crashing. I don’t use it, it’s just a backup browser so I can get Pale Moon or whatever.

Thanks to weeXpc I played with dillo some more.. and it is actually useful!

Improvements

• Tabbed browsing
• Https

• Copy and paste

missing

• Proper hotkeys

• Edit boxes should wrap at word breaks..

2005-08-18 – 0.7.2 ∞

• Allow keypad-enter
• A hotkey to get to the location bar
• No proper ^C^V^X clipboard uses.
• Some characters show up as junk: •
• Be able to use ftp

• Be able to click on a link to download a file. Hrm.

(date not recorded) – (version not recorded) ∞

• ctrl-w to close window
• Cannot tab through links

• Focus is not appropriate when dillo starts up – cannot cursor without clicking the webpage main area first

• A commandline feature to let dillo load a URL in a current dillo window, as with:

dillo -current /foo/bar.htm

This would let me edit a file (in NEdit), and call on dillo within that editor to do a preview of the file.. without bothering to surf around within dillo to load the file, and without bothering to have dillo called up for a second instance.

• alt-left / alt-right to hop back/forward in the history

• ctrl-r for refresh
