- I use dillo a lot, congratulations!
With these age verification laws and depending upon what Firefox does, dillo could very well be the go-to browser on Linux and BSD. If these laws hit us and Firefox adds logic to verify one's age, I will be 100% dillo.

- Unfortunately even Google started requiring JS, which was a huge attack against small browsers and the open web.
- A huge thank-you to the dev(s)! I love retro projects like this. I use Dillo daily, although it is for internal use. One thing I use it for is to view gemini protocol sites. The plug-in architecture means that you can render any protocol; gopher and gemini amongst others.
It's so lightweight!
- While Mastodon client ain't working either, at least there is an alternative available: https://codeberg.org/adele/smolfedi
- It’s a shame that in my case trying to use Dillo here (HN) keeps returning 429, something that doesn’t happen with "full‑size" browsers (JS?).
- dilloc began before the 3.3.0 release, in some previous git commits and it was amazing.
It's pretty easy to write a redirect menu item calling a script similar to a plumber/xdg-open
replacing the JS url's with non JS ones, a la Libredirect under Firefox/Chromium.
- i already mentioned it in other Dillo-related posts, but i can not repeat enough: Dillo was the browser enabled me to view the web at all on my first old 486 PC, packed in Damn Small Linux.
- Is there a current and pre-compiled Windows port for Dillo somewhere?
- Sad dillo is c++, I would have compiled it with a small and alternative plain and simple C compiler like cproc/qbe or tinycc.
That said, there is a signal about coding AI able to do a really good job at assisting to port c++ to plain and simple C en masse.

- Am I the only one who has to giggle when reading that name?
I know people have somewhat related thoughts about the image editor called GIMP.
