Probably HTML 4.01 spec.

Very nice! Are there any binary packages to test it on Linux/WSL? Have you considered support for UTF-8 half-blocks or Sixel for graphics?

If you combine performance & stability of Dillo with better HTML5 support of Netsurf, you could get a great lightweight alternative to mainstream browsers.

Ladybird is much more heavyweight at this point, it uses hundreds MB of RAM, not tens MB like Dillo.
427.
by niutech 2y ago
Rather than joining Ladybird, it would be great to see a merge of Netsurf and Dillo as a very lightweight alternative to Blink/Webkit/Gecko/Goanna-based browsers. For low bandwidth or slow computers, also try Carbonyl Termina

2024 is a breakthrough year - first Netsurf 3.11 released after many years ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38804205 ), Servo picked up from the dust, Ladybird getting better every month and now Dillo 3.1 resurrected af

Another option is Carbonyl browser.

One esy to solve this is to use a terminal web browser like Carbonyl.
433.
by niutech 2y ago
Requiring to create a user account in order to use the browser is unacceptable. Try Stack Browser or Ferdium if you don't like tabs.

This gap can be filled by 6KB Petite Vue ( https://github.com/vuejs/petite-vue ) or one of its forks like Petite Vue Pro ( https://github.com/tmcdos/petite-vue )

HTMX is not lightweight, its size is 44KB minified, whereas you can get similar behavior using 166-byte (sic!) HTMZ: https://leanrada.com/htmz/

Yes, masonry has been already solved using CSS Multi-Column Layout: https://w3bits.com/css-masonry/

Here is the demo: https://w3bits.com/css-masonry/

Why not just use widely supported CSS Multi-Column Layout for masonry effect?
440.
by niutech 3y ago
Masonry is easy and has already been solved using CSS Multiple Columns: .masonry { column-count: 6; column-gap: 10px; }

As for no JS - have a look at my PHOOOS technique of out-of-order HTML streaming without JavaScript: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40070792 There is too much JS bloat on the WWW. Let's get back to pure HTML &amp

If you don't use JS at all, you don't pay the price too and it's faster since there is no JS to parse and execute - see e.g. https://github.com/niutech/phooos

Why does Meta embed a 3.5MB animated GIF ( https://about.fb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Meta-AI-Expa... ) on their announcement post instead of much smaller animated WebP/APNG/MP4 file? They s

But does Links have a graphical DOS version, like MicroWeb?
445.
by niutech 3y ago
Yes, this is how classic software works. It can download updates in the background, just like e.g. web browsers do. It will be more performant than web apps.

Come on, there are so many native cross-platform solutions which are easy to go and much less bloated than web engine, e.g. Qt/GTK+/wxWidgets/Xamarin/etc.

by niutech 3y ago
Yes it is. And it is supported by all modern browsers ( https://caniuse.com/declarative-shadow-dom ), for older browsers you can add a tiny polyfill. Keep in mind that you need to link CSS stylesheet inside Declarative Shadow
