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 :)
Maybe it is a good idea to add a button in the quit dialog to allow the user to save the current "session" for later (and/or set in dillorc what to do by default).
Keep in mind this will cause a spike of work loading hundreds of tabs, and it can potentially ban you if all those tabs point to the same server, as they will all load at the same time.
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. It would be nice to have the domain name as the tab name in these cases.
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.
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.
