Dillo

Dillo is a small and fast free web browser that supports C (also C ) using FLTK in the programming language, was written and implemented HTTP and HTTPS (with additional configuration switches ) (since version 2.0, formerly GTK 1). Dillo can be used in many operating systems. Mainly, these are Unix derivatives. There is no official version of Dillo for Windows. However, it was ported to Windows: " Dillo - Win32 ". There is also an older SourceForge project with a Windows port " Dillo for Windows". This project is not evolved since 2003. In 2011, Dillo has been ported to DOS: " Dillo for DOS ".

The binary file of Dillo is only about 350 kB in size (compared to about 10 MB for the Mozilla Firefox). However, it must be accepted some limitations: namely Cascading Style Sheets have been implemented version 2.1, but the support is lacking for positioning of objects ( floating), which is why many websites look unusual. Further support JavaScript and other active elements such as Java applets, and the support frame also exists only in a very rudimentary form of a list of links to individual frames. Netscape plug-ins, such as Adobe Flash are not supported, but there is a patch that support for Gnash, a free Flash implementation adds. Dillo has a bookmark management that uses text files to manage the links. In addition, Dillo has an integrated download manager with progress. Cookies are also supported and can be activated or completely white ( page -based), or blacklisting.

Due to the small size Dillo is often the main browser for smaller Linux distributions such as Damn Small Linux, or DeLi Linux. In some distributions for single board computers such as the Raspberry Pi Dillo one of the browsers installed by default due to the relatively low performance of the hardware.

Dillo was based on the browser Gzilla. In April 2006, published version 0.8.6 of the browser. The development of Dillo lack of development capacity was initially frozen on 25 February 2007. In October 2008, however, the new, more streamlined version 2.0 was released with FLTK2 -based user interface and support for tabs. 6 September 2011 Dillo 3.0 was released, which draws on FLTK1.3 because FLTK2 was downgraded to an experimental alpha version.
