Following yesterday's installment of lightweight web-browsing with lynx(1), today in it's the @dilloDillo browser project.

It's pretty much everything I want from a non-JavaScript enabled browser.

It's fast. It's lightweight. It runs across all the architectures I use (I can't run FF or Chromium on my macppc or i386 hardware any more due, I believe, to JIT requirements). It's customizable (I have my own preferred CSS stylesheet that tends to make everything more readable rather than the hit-or-miss partial CSS support that can cause some sites to be unreadable).

I've shared the anecdote many times before, but reading the Inconsolation blog¹ a number of years ago, I used dillo and literally had over 100 tabs open, yet top(1) reported Dillo using less than 100MB of RAM. Meanwhile, opening a single blank home-page in FF or Chromium doing absolutely nothing consumed more RAM than that. 🤯

So today I'm spreading some Dillo love 🥰
