dillo VS dillo-plus

TLDR: Dillo is a fast and small graphical web browser. It kind of died in 2017 and this is the first release after 9 years from the last one.

You can read the main website for more details[1].

And the release page[2], which explains a bit of the history of the project and the current state.

Sort-of mentioned this in a previous comment also, but I suppose FLTK is alive and well for regular users of Tiny Core Linux (of whom there are quite a bit, I guess -- myself included). The recently resurrected Dillo web browser also relies on it: https://dillo-browser.github.io/

I'd put this dillo fork:

Thanks for your DPI work. I tested the gemini plugin and works very well.

My only complain is that it keeps asking to confirm new keys every time a new server is visited which causes a lot of friction to explore several gemini servers. I understand that is a tradeoff between usability and security, but I wish there was a better solution than that.

For now I uploaded Charles plugin written in shell script[1], which always trusts the certificate.

But I'm considering switching to the Go version if I can find a way to improve the UX.

Also, I kindly ask you to add the tag "dillo-plugin" so you can make Dillo plugins easily discoverable by searching for the tag in GitHub[2].

> I believe that in recent versions of Dillo, even https is implemented as a DPI plugin.

This was done initially[3] (before 2007) but it was moved to the browser itself[4] in 2016.

Dillo Plus supports external media playback (https://github.com/crossbowerbt/dillo-plus/#external-media-p...), maybe it could be backported to Dillo?

The Dillo+ (Dillo-Plus) project has already added Gopher and Gemini support to their fork of Dillo:

There are many, many, many web browsers that are not corporate-controlled. Some of my favourites lately are the Argonaut Constellation [0] – mostly because of the interesting technical decisions going in the development (particularly the CSS and the Haskell), but also because Rhapsode is already better than eSpeakNG + AT-SPI2 + Firefox.

There's also the venerable lynx, and elinks (which I reluctantly admit is better than lynx, even if I don't use it much), and Dillo+ [1] (a fork / continuation of Dillo that supports Gopher and Gemini). And could I forget NetSurf, with its graph-y history navigation? And of course, Ladybird, [2] probably the best-funded of the lot.

These are just the ones I've heard of. There are surely dozens more you'd be interested in, and thousands of little hobby projects. Why not try making your own web browser?
