Introducing Dillo 3.3.0: A New Web Browser Release
Dillo 3.3.0 has been introduced as the latest release of the web browser. The browser features a tab-based GUI and supports HTML 4.01, CSS, and HTTPS, although it does not support JavaScript. Users can extend the functionality of Dillo through plugins, such as the plugins for IPFS and Gemini. When launching the start page, Dillo uses 12 MB of RAM, while the deb installation package takes up around 600 KB. The graphical interface of the browser is constructed using the FLTK library. The project code is distributed under the GPLv3 license.
In the new version of Dillo 3.3.0, several features have been added:
- The “–enable-experimental-fltk” option has been included for building with the FLTK 1.4 framework, which enables support for operating in environments based on the Wayland protocol. However, support for FLTK 1.4 is currently considered experimental due to some rendering issues on high DPI screens and in Wayland-based environments.
- An ability to control the browser from the command line by connecting to a running browser instance via a UNIX socket has been added. Users can perform various commands, such as opening a URL in a tab, replacing content, reloading a tab, checking for page loading completion, evaluating HTTP headers, and text dumping the contents of a tab.
- The addition of the page_action option allows users to execute shell commands from the page context menu. When combined with command line management capabilities, users can create scripts to process or modify pages or specific loaders content.
- A bypass mode has been introduced for saving third-party Cookies, enabling the use of OAuth for authentication on websites.
