http://www.dillo.org/ Welcome to the Dillo Project!
- Dillo is a web browser project completely written in C.
- Dillo is small: source is less than 420 KB, and the binary is around 350 KB!
- Dillo aims to be a multi-platform browser alternative that's small, stable, developer-friendly, usable, fast, and extensible.
- Dillo is mainly based on GTK+ (GNOME is NOT required!)
- Dillo is a free-SW project in the terms of the GNU general public license.
- Dillo's bug meter is a tool to help towards standards compliance.
- Current code uses an improved html-parser (formerly based on gzilla's), and almost everything else was rewritten from scratch!.
- Dillo is very fast!
- The democratization of internet information access.
- Personal security and privacy.
- High software efficiency.
So, you have been using dillo for a while, but have you read about the project objectives? Please give it some time, you'll find some interesting issues there!
The Dillo project is frozen:
- Frozen, waiting for funds or sponsorship.
- Looking for interested developers that want to work steadily on it.
- Both core developers have regular jobs and have almost no spare time.
- We have a very advanced port of Dillo to FLTK2.
A web browser is too complex a task to develop on a part time basis, and it also is a fast-moving target. I dedicated seven years full-time to it, and I'm willing to dedicate more. This doesn't depend on me anymore as I had to take a job to pay the bills. We made great achievments with Dillo and it would be easy to quickly push FLTK2-Dillo if we could have both core developers working full time on it. This is a tiny deal for some sponsors (e. Cell phone maker), and we wish it could happen soon. Through this time we've been supported by individual's donations, and we thank them indeed for believing in our project and to help make it grow to what it is.
If you as a reader, or user, or interested party have a good idea, sponsorship or development time to devote, please don't hesitate to contact me to try to arrange for the future of Dillo.
