Welcome to the Dillo Project!
|
What is Dillo?
- Dillo is a
multi-platform
graphical web browser known for its speed and
small size.
- Dillo is written in C and C++.
- Dillo is based on FLTK2, the Fast
Light Toolkit (statically-linked by default!).
- Dillo is free software made available under the terms of the GNU
General Public License (GPLv3).
- Dillo strives to be friendly both to users and developers.
- Dillo helps web authors to comply with web standards by using the
bug meter.
Project objectives
- The democratization of internet information access.
- Personal security and privacy.
- High software efficiency.
Current version
Dillo follows an evolving software model where each new version
should be better than the previous one; there's no place for unstable
releases, so just keep with the latest one: dillo-2.1.

The Dillo project is frozen:
- Frozen, waiting for funds or sponsorship.
- Looking for interested developers that want to work steadily on it.
- Both core developers have regular jobs and have almost no spare time.
- We have a
very advanced
port of Dillo to
FLTK2.
A web browser is too complex a task to develop on a part time basis, and it
also is a fast-moving target.
I dedicated seven years full-time
to it, and I'm willing to dedicate more. This doesn't depend on me anymore
as I had to take a job to pay the bills. We made great achievments with Dillo
and it would be easy to quickly push FLTK2-Dillo if we could have both core
developers working full time on it. This is a tiny deal for some sponsors (e.
Cell phone maker), and we wish it could happen soon. Through this time we've
been supported by individual's donations, and we thank them indeed for
believing in our project and to help make it grow to what it is.
If you as a reader, or user, or interested party have a good idea, sponsorship
or development time to devote, please don't hesitate to contact
me to
try to arrange for the future of Dillo.
