name = Dillo
Dillo is a small (~350 KB ), fast, Free Software Minimalistic multi-platform Web Browser written in C using the GTK+ graphical toolkit which was first released in December 1999. It is particularly suitable for older or smaller computers and Embedded System s. In addition to its small size, Dillo is highly secure — Cookie s are disabled by default, for instance. Dillo is available for most POSIX -compliant Unix platforms, including GNU/Linux , BSD , Solaris and Mac OS X . As of December 2006 , the current version is 0.8.6. Due to its small size Dillo is also the browser of choice for many space-conscious Linux distributions including Damn Small Linux and Feather Linux . Dillo, as of release 0.8.6, has no support for and encoding selection in official releases, but these features are available in third-party patches. Third-party patches also exist to support Antialiasing of text and non-Latin characters. Currently, development efforts are focused not on adding more features, but in porting Dillo from the GTK+ toolkit to the FLTK 2 graphics toolkit and improving the prototypical support for SSL , as well as working on a framework to allow Plugin s to be easily written and included, as in Firefox . In these days the FLTK2 port is quite complete and mature but not released in public because of long time lack of funds, which are important for further Dillo development. According to main developer Jorge Arellano Cid there's not enough support from companies, which are using Dillo in their products (i.e. in embedded systems). Jorge claimed that Dillo won't be released without support from companies. From 30th of August 2006 there was an effort to find corporate funders: Campaign to help Dillo survive On 25 February 2007 the project was declared frozen until funding or new developers appeared.
