Always one Dillo has less overhead than running multiple instances at the same time.
Beside, if Dillo uses library plugins then there is no need to fork at all.
I'm not really qualified but that has never stopped me before eather. You want to get rid of dpid in favor of library plugins and make dillo execute as one process only. I'm right this far? And once one happens to have 20+ dillo windows open with your proposed way, some library plugin (or dillo itself) decides to halt everything. Or segfault. 20+ browsing windows spirited away. How many times has this happened with Mozilla, M-Firebird or just about any other web browser? How much did you swear after it? Right now I practically allways launch a new dillo when i need a new browser window. It's just so much nicer when all those 50 or more windows I often have open don't go at one blow if something bad happens.
What do you think about it?
I think it's the stupidest idea since browser tabs. (*) You asked. Dunno if my facts are right, but this is what my user experience tells me. Feel free to flame me if I got something terribly wrong. -- shared, (*) Nothing personal at Frank, you're a hard working guy doing things you believe in, appreciate it truly even I disagree with some of it.
