'load_images' pref ineffective on embedded images

by a1ex＠dismail.de

Hi, The pref 'load_images=NO' only disables loading images from a remote img src, and not from an embedded[1] data:image src. If this behavior is intentional, would it be reasonable to implement an option to disable all images? It might be the case that the user does not want to see any images, no matter the img src. [1] <img src="data:image/png;base64,..."> Regards, Alex

I have an idea with minimal changes in dillo and various scripts. - Activate and format some MSGs in dillo - use a script to run dillo so saves and load tabs MSGs based Example: patch with make a script run_dillo.sh fn load_tabs ... dillo $@ | while read line echo $line # process dillo MSGs # MSG("a_UIcmd_open_url_nw: open url in new window '%s' bw=%p new_bw=%p\n", URL_STR(url), (void *) bw, (void *) new_bw); # MSG("a_UIcmd_open_url_nt: open url in new tab '%s' bw=%p new_bw=%p\n", URL_STR(url), (void *) bw, (void *) new_bw); # MSG("a_UIcmd_close_bw bw=%p\n", (void *) bw); # MSG("Nav_open_url: old_url='%s' idx=%d bw=%p\n", URL_STR(old_url), idx, (void *) bw); # MSG("Nav_open_url: saved scroll of '%s' at x=%d y=%d bw=%p\n", URL_STR(old_url), x, y, (void *) bw); # MSG("Nav: expect_done scrolling to x=%d y=%d bw=%p\n", posx, posy, (void *) bw); selec $line a_UIcmd_open_url_nw) ;; open new window anote bw a_UIcmd_open_url_nt) ;; open new tab anote bw a_UIcmd_close_bw) ;; delete window or tab Nav_open_url: old_url) ;; change url for tab Nav_open_url: saved scroll) ;; annotate scroll pos Nav: expect_done scrolling to) ;; annotate scroll pos Dillo: normal exit) ;; annotate normal exit El jue, 12 sept 2024 a las 20:01, <a1ex(a)dismail.de> escribió: > > Hi, > > It would be nice to have the ability to save a list of open tabs.

Nice ones! I think it would be handy to do such a list. Here are some directories, but the CSS is pretty broken on some, at least until we implement CSS variables: https://sjmulder.nl/en/textonly.html https://jsfree.org/ https://blogroll.org/ https://ooh.directory/ https://curlie.org/en/ I guess it would be easier to have a directory of directories, so we don't need to do a lot of maintenance. So instead of asking us to add your nice page/blog/whatever, just submit it to one of the directories we link to. Best, Rodrigo.

This is a valid concern. Maybe there could be a warning if opening more than 20 tabs (or whatever number is reasonable). I generally don't have many more than that open anyway, and usually they are a mixture of sites, so it shouldn't be a big issue for me at least. On a side note, I still sometimes get blank tab names with no title, even after this commit: https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/pull/194/commits Here is an example: https://search.dojoro.de/ When I search for something, the address becomes: https://search.dojoro.de/search and yet the tab name still remains blank.

My use case for Dillo is mostly reading text (research, news, mailing lists, oss dev sites, etc). I browse with images and css off by default, for me they are usually an unnecessary distraction, and only turn them on as needed. As for sites, Here are a few examples: Search - SearXNG instances, frogfind.com, marginalia Mailing lists - marc.info, mail-archive.com Proxy - MortyProxy instances, floodgap.com gopher, gopherpedia News - neuters.de, m.simplepie.org rss, rss-bridge instances Tech - hn (or hngopher), tildes.net, lobste.rs, bleepingcomputer.com Reddit - libreddit instances, gopherddit.com Youtube - invidious instances, https://codemadness.org/idiotbox/ OpenBSD stuff - freshbsd.org, openports.pl, undeadly.org, etc Social media - nope Obviously this list is rather privacy focused, but I'd be happy to help put together a more general list of sites which are Dillo-friendly. Regards, Alex PS: Why don't I use reddit/google/wikipedia/news/etc directly instead of using a intermediary? Because I don't trust them. I have nothing to hide, but these corporations are evil, and I will go out of my way to avoid them.

I use an extension (Tab Wrangler) in Firefox to close unused tabs after some time, so it forces me to bookmark earlier. It kills the tab hoarding problem and keeps the memory usage low, so maybe a similar approach could be used in Dillo. >An option to save all open tab urls to a file would be great.

I'm wondering how you use Dillo regularly and what sites you use that work good without JS. I'm thinking in writing a short introduction to directories and other pages to let newcomers have something to actually read, rather than opening youtube.com and seeing a blank page. Best, Rodrigo.

Feature idea: save tabs list

by a1ex＠dismail.de

Hi, It would be nice to have the ability to save a list of open tabs. Often I find myself shutting down my workstation and still have many tabs open in Dillo. Its a pain to go through them all at that moment to decide whats worth saving or bookmarking. An option to save all open tab urls to a file would be great. It would be even nicer if we could later open all those urls in new tabs when starting Dillo :) On first glance it doesn't seem very easy to implement, but also maybe not super complicated either. I don't have any patches yet, just wanted to put the idea out and see what you think about it. Regards, Alex

Eventually I'll need to add a tool to control the browser for automated testing, so I will probably also add the ability to refresh the current page too. So not sure if we want to spend too much effort in this, provided there is a intermediate solution already. I began tagging easy issues with "good first issue", so far only one: https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%… Best, Rodrigo.

I didn't get much further with this yet, but in the meantime, here is a very simple example script which attempts to achieve the same goal. It opens the specified file in a new Dillo window and then automatically reloads the page whenever the file changes. Note that it only reloads the active tab. This relies on the 'entr' and 'xdotool' programs, but 'entr' can be easily replaced with a bit more scripting if desired. ```` #!/bin/sh # dillomon.sh # Monitor a local file for changes with Dillo # usage: dillomon.sh filename dillo $1 & sleep 1 echo $1 | entr xdotool key --window `xdotool search --classname Dillo | tail -1` ctrl+r ```` Regards, Alex
