Using browsers which are Web 2.0 enabled whenever you just what to Google something is like calling out the Fire Brigade when you have just burned the toast. Definitive overkill. If you are just surfing for information, then you want the little browser on the low fat, low body-mass index, skinny latte diet with a low carbon footprint. If Dillo were a catwalk model, it would be size zero. Think of it as the Victoria Beckham of browsers— but better looking; where the big hitters like Firefox, Flock and Opera sometimes move like a Sloth on Mogadon, Dillo tears down the track like a Whippet on speed.

The problem with Dillo...

...is that it's TOO small. No CSS support (not even CSS1), no JavaScript support, no DOM support, no XMLHttpRequest support, poor bookmarks, no tabbed browsing. It's just not a good browser for everyday usage. Kazehakaze, Midori, or Skipstone would be a better choice. Midori or Skipstone especially as you get a choice between Gecko (better website support) or WebKit (faster).

I think the Dillo project right now is in a catch-22 as no business would seriously consider using the browser as it is, but the superior FLTK2 port won't ever see the light of day without business sponsorship. We may have seen the last of Dillo.
