It's obvious that you should have Konqueror and Mozilla, but it's not obvious that you should have dillo and Konqueror. Is it Dillo's goal to support CSS and Javascript? How about https? Do Dillo people believe you can call something a web browser if it does not have support for these? If yes, then it is targeted for a different, limited usage. What would you say is the distinctive point between Dillo and Khtml/Konqueror? It is not true that C code is faster than C++ Thanks, Philippe

Particularly: http://dillo.auriga.wearlab.de/funding/ This site outlines much of Dillo's "reason for being". Specifically: Keeping dillo up to date with the dynamic underlying technologies to meet the main objectives, becomes the long term goal. I believe that should answer your question. -- Jamin W.

I'm not trying to be nasty here. So it's not the goal of dillo to be compliant with web content? Thanks, Philippe

Oh yeah, the speed thing is fantastic! Since loading 1300 fonts in my machine, Opera went from firing up in six seconds to taking 23 seconds to load. Dillo starts in 0.78 seconds! ;-) -- Gregg

reason for dillo's existence

by Philippe Laporte

Hi, Would a Konqueror(Khtml) ported to GTK render dillo irrelevant, or is there really a spot out there for browsers with conformance to subsets of widely used web standards? I mean, why was dillo ever started? Would it have been started if KHTML had been ported to GTK at the time? Thaks, Philippe

Ok, but, could you point me what are the main code/files need to make dillo works?
