No idea what it is but this wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t open source. Cool!
Dillo browser’s original project goal was to provide a web browser for people with slow Internet connection.
Here some screenshots of Dillo browser on a phone and how the developer did that :
And here’s a screenshot of Dillo (and some other apps) running on a modern Samsung phone (Galaxy Fold 4) :)
I need a step by step guide on how you did this good sir.
What @lemmyreader said, except this is XFCE installed directly on Termux (and accessed via Termux-X11, a native X server for Android). No *buntu involved here. If you have an Android as well, you can set all this up (minus the actual Chicago95 theme) using this script.
damn I didn’t even think of running a de on termux, thanks! Now I’m stuck here wishing xiaomi would actually allow one phone to have usb c 3.0
The screen shot has a document Xubuntu -> Chicago95 open which appears to be related to this :
Stunning
This is…a travesty
I have fond memories of using dillo running on DSL live cd.
“Welcome to
Team Fortress 2Dillo. After 9 years in development, hopefully it would have been worth the wait.”(I’m gonna try it, it seems neat)
This is pretty big if it has a completely separate browser rendering engine to the two remaining families, even if the feature set is small.
The more current alternatives we have, the better.
3 remaining families, WebKit, gecko and chromium
I was counting WebKit and Blink (Chromium) as cousins, both descendents of KHTML, but maybe they’ve diverged enough as to not easily be able to borrow from each other any more and it really is three.
There is also Ladybird :
Ladybird is the only browser engine not financially dependent on Google.
It is early days but already becoming usable. I use it to browse sites like OSnews, Hacker News, and LWN.net and it already works pretty well for those.
I shouldve specified “major” families
There’s also servo.
- Thanks for the reminder!
