Dillo is a fast and small graphical web browser with HTTP, HTTPS and FTP support.
Other protocols like #Gemini #Gopher and #Spartan are available via plugins.
Dillo is on Fediverse : https://fosstodon.org/@dillo
UPDATE, available on Arch Linux now : https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/dillo
This is pretty big if it has a completely separate browser rendering engine to the two remaining families, even if the feature set is small.
The more current alternatives we have, the better.
3 remaining families, WebKit, gecko and chromium
There is also Ladybird :
Ladybird is the only browser engine not financially dependent on Google.
It is early days but already becoming usable. I use it to browse sites like OSnews, Hacker News, and LWN.net and it already works pretty well for those.
I was counting WebKit and Blink (Chromium) as cousins, both descendents of KHTML, but maybe they've diverged enough as to not easily be able to borrow from each other any more and it really is three.
"Welcome to
Team Fortress 2Dillo. After 9 years in development, hopefully it would have been worth the wait."(I'm gonna try it, it seems neat)
No idea what it is but this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't open source. Cool!
Dillo browser's original project goal was to provide a web browser for people with slow Internet connection.
Here some screenshots of Dillo browser on a phone and how the developer did that :
I have fond memories of using dillo running on DSL live cd.
