[PATCH] Middle-click on back button to open prev. page in new tab
by a1ex＠dismail.de April 28, 2025

April 28, 2025

Hi list, Hope you are all doing well! I have a small feature idea: Sometimes I want to go back to the previous page, but also keep the current page open. Obviously I can go back and then open the last page in a new tab, but that can be annoying having to find and click on the link again. One solution is to make middle-clicking on the back button open the previous page in a new tab. Attached is a working proof-of-concept patch. Any feedback would be welcome!

Image Redirects on the Wayback Machine
by Kevin Koster March 25, 2025

March 25, 2025

I keep needing to open pages at the Wayback Machine in Links (graphical mode) because Dillo won't load images there. I know this is because a while ago they started using redirects on the image links in their archived pages, and the old Dillo FAQ says: "If Dillo requests an image and receives a response containing a redirection (i.e., pointing to a different URL), the redirection is not followed. These have a strong tendency to be advertisements." https://dillo-browser.github.io/old/FAQ.html#q28 However it's a real pain since most of the good stuff on the Web seems to have gone offline. ~/.dillo/domainrc was added to solve similar problems with over-active blocking of images at different domains (next part of that FAQ answer). Could some sort of allow rule for image redirects be added in that too? Or is there an existing work-around for the Wayback Machine images that I haven't figured out? Example: The image link at the top of this archived webpage: http://web.archive.org/web/20001009182503/http://www.abc.net.au/defaultlo.h… http://web.archive.org/web/20001009182503im_/http://www.abc.net.au/img/abcb… Redirects to: http://web.archive.org/web/20000822094140im_/http://www.abc.net.au/img/abcb… which isn't loaded unless opened on its own via the right-click menu in Dillo.

I used a custom patch to navigate to the next fragment (div). Still needs some polishing before I can merge it. Rodrigo.

I do not have a github account, so I am sending a patch as well as the statements that enabled the patch. They have all been hand-checked. This is what I hope is a low-effort improvement and ahead of the FOSDEM 2025 presentation. Best regards GT

Google Requiring Javascript
by Kevin Koster Jan. 21, 2025

Jan. 21, 2025

It's probably best to remove Google from the search engines in the default dillorc because it no longer works in browsers without Javascript support: https://www.osnews.com/story/141570/google-begins-requiring-javascript-for-… In Dillo Google now redirects me to a page saying: "Turn on JavaScript to keep searching"

DHT based search engine
by Schimon Jehudah Jan. 21, 2025

Jan. 21, 2025

Greeting! I suppose that people here know BBS, P2P, Kad, eD2k (eDonkey2000), Gnutella, G2, DC, ADC etc. Whlie I have wrote an email concerning to a search service provider, I have thought of the DHT technology which could make search engines built-in. > Perhaps Dillo should have a built-in DHT-based search interface (such > as of Kad of eMule) that would communicate with instances such as > 4get, Marginalia, MetaGer, SearxNG, Wiby, YaCy etc. What do you think of this idea? We can start by providing a plugin and later decide whether to make this a part of Dillo. I can write a plugin in Python, if you want me to. Kindly, Schimon

other cool neighbours

Chawan - a web browser for your terminal <https://sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/> I played a bit with it. Ok, ok, more a long than only a bit. ;-) The following snapshot was taken from Chawan running on an OpenBSD7 pubnix I was connected to over SSH in XTerm on Debian: <https://web.archive.org/web/20250104110122if_/https://yeti.tilde.institute/…> The second one was shot via XTerm and SSH too, but this time the remote was a headless Pi2 in my LAN: <https://web.archive.org/web/20250104152517if_/https://yeti.tilde.institute/…> Chawan seems to be the first browser in a terminal that does not butcher my Org-Babel notes massively. Even without graphics via Sixels this would have been a big leap for proofreading my own stuff over SSH or Mosh if graphics aren't needed, but sure I won't complain about graphics being supported too. \o/ -- Trust me, I know what I'm doing...
