The difficult bit isn't the core JavaScript support. There are a dozen engines packaged as libraries that can use for that. The difficult bit is supporting all of the hundreds of DOM APIs.
Google at this point kind of controls the www. Now, strictly speaking that statement is not true, but it now feels as if Google sits in so many areas that are important for the www; chrome is just the most obvious one.
With these age verification laws and depending upon what Firefox does, dillo could very well be the go-to browser on Linux and BSD. If these laws hit us and Firefox adds logic to verify one's age, I will be 100% dillo.
Understandable but I think the age sniffing laws are much more profound. It's fascinating to see how quickly all countries succumb to them right now.
People may not believe it right now, but I think anonymously browsing the www will be a thing of the past in some years. People should see the concomitant attacks on VPNs - this is all concerted, not "isolated accidents". We need to make the flow of money obvious - I am fed up of being controlled by lobbyists.
I can browse HN fine with both Servo [0] and Blitz [1] (the latter of which is no-JS like Dillo). So I think there might be something Dillo-specific going on here.
BTW Thanks for all fixes, especially this one https://bug.dillo-browser.org/511/. Dillo (3.2.0) crashed quite often on my system because of this bug. I hope I will compile and test the new release soon.
dilloc began before the 3.3.0 release, in some previous git commits and it was amazing.
It's pretty easy to write a redirect menu item calling a script similar to a plumber/xdg-open
replacing the JS url's with non JS ones, a la Libredirect under Firefox/Chromium.
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing, kind of an unfortunate name. Why? It makes you think of a DILD*. Then you have to remind yourself, they probably mean armadillo.

In any case, apart from our cgit instance we have mirrors in Codeberg and SourceHut:

I assume is a side effect of abusive crawlers compounded with Dillo headers not being very common.

I know people have somewhat related thoughts about the image editor called GIMP.
Oh, I know exactly what you’re talking about. I too am reminded of Tom Bombadil’s song from The Fellowship of the Ring every time Dillo is mentioned.
