Developers of the Web Brauzer dillo celebrate the 25th anniversary of the project. The browser provides a graphic interface based on tabs and supports HTML 4.01, CSS, and HTTPS (no JavaScript support). Dillo functionality can expand through plugins, for example, there are plugins for protocols ipfs and gemini.
