Dillo is a fast, small, and resource-efficient web browser written in C using the FLTK toolkit. It prioritizes speed and privacy over feature completeness, making it suitable for older hardware or minimalist setups.
The browser supports HTML 4.01 and CSS 2.1 with limitations, focusing on core browsing functionality. It doesn't include JavaScript support, which improves performance and reduces security surface but limits compatibility with modern websites.
Dillo features tabbed browsing, bookmarks, and form handling. Its minimal resource usage makes it valuable for embedded systems, older computers, or users who prefer lightweight applications.
