About:
Dillo is a lightweight, graphical web browser built for speed and efficiency. It renders HTML and CSS with a focus on core browsing functionality, avoiding resource-heavy features like JavaScript. This makes it ideal for low-spec systems or secure, minimal browsing environments.

Key Features:

Extremely fast and lightweight with low memory footprint
Built on the FLTK toolkit for a consistent, simple GUI
Focuses on HTML/CSS rendering without JavaScript support
Highly configurable and suitable for embedded systems

Use Cases:

Browsing the web on older or resource-constrained hardware
Creating a secure, minimal browsing environment for specific tasks
Embedded systems where a full browser engine is impractical

Alternatives:

links – Dillo provides a graphical interface, whereas Links is primarily text-based.
netsurf – Both are lightweight browsers, but NetSurf features its own layout engine, unlike Dillo's custom rendering.
