Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure if I understand the misdiagnosis part. I think that complex free software reduces the ability from independent groups to modify it, so forcing it to be small ensures it remains easy to modify. Chro

This is a talk I gave last month at FOSDEM 2025 where I presented the resurrection process of Dillo as well as a live demo at 5:10 of some new features. The whole presentation is done in Dillo itself from a 15 year old Intel Atom netbook. T

Same on Dillo, reloading makes the JS wall go away for now, but probably won't last. Edit: Reloading doesn't work anymore for me. Unless the sca_esv=xxxxxxxxx param is present it will redirect to the JS wall.

There are some benefits in using an alias instead. First, it is easier and shorter to type and remember, as the path to the socket can be long. Second, multiple users may run a given service in a socket located at different paths. And third

Because there are multiple protocols you could be using to talk to the socket other than HTTP. In order to use HTTP, you also need to specify the path and maybe other elements. What you may want is something like: http://&lt

Dillo RFC 003 – Unix sockets in URLs(dillo-browser.github.io)

I just wrote a simple RFC to support UNIX sockets in URLs, initially for Dillo[1] but potentially useful for other software. It allows protocols other than HTTP to talk to the socket, like Gemini or Gopher. [1]: https://dillo-bro

AFAIK, Ladybird goal is to build an independent web browser from scratch that can render the "modern" web. Dillo original goal[1] is to provide access to the web to places with very bad internet speed or latency as well as old or

Because I considered it a good starting point as I can place a redirect notice there if we move to another place, without worrying we will lose the DNS again. If you want to help, feel free to do so :-)

by rodarima 2y ago
What prevents you from doing some tests? We have seen Dillo running in a lot of old and not very common machines (Atari), so you may have some work already done.
