Dillo Browser Release 3.3.0

It’s a shame that in my case trying to use Dillo here (HN) keeps returning 429, something that doesn’t happen with "full‑size" browsers (JS?).
rodarima•55m ago
There are no special rules against modern browsers. Can you reproduce it systematically?, if so, any chances you can paste the HTTP headers?

In any case, apart from our cgit instance we have mirrors in Codeberg and SourceHut:

- https://git.dillo-browser.org/dillo/

- https://codeberg.org/dillo/dillo

- https://git.sr.ht/~dillo/dillo

I meant browsing HN with Dillo. And it is not Dillo's fault. Other not "mainstream" browsers have the same problem.
rodarima•41m ago
Ahh, I see. Yes, I also see it sometimes, for those cases the "Mimic Chrome" workaround usually fixes it.

I assume is a side effect of abusive crawlers compounded with Dillo headers not being very common.

elch•34m ago
Very possible. I was too lazy to investigate.

BTW Thanks for all fixes, especially this one https://bug.dillo-browser.org/511/. Dillo (3.2.0) crashed quite often on my system because of this bug. I hope I will compile and test the new release soon.

I use dillo a lot, congratulations!

With these age verification laws and depending upon what Firefox does, dillo could very well be the go-to browser on Linux and BSD. If these laws hit us and Firefox adds logic to verify one's age, I will be 100% dillo.

shevy-java•22m ago
Understandable but I think the age sniffing laws are much more profound. It's fascinating to see how quickly all countries succumb to them right now.

People may not believe it right now, but I think anonymously browsing the www will be a thing of the past in some years. People should see the concomitant attacks on VPNs - this is all concerted, not "isolated accidents". We need to make the flow of money obvious - I am fed up of being controlled by lobbyists.

userbinator•29m ago
Unfortunately even Google started requiring JS, which was a huge attack against small browsers and the open web.
shevy-java•24m ago
Google at this point kind of controls the www. Now, strictly speaking that statement is not true, but it now feels as if Google sits in so many areas that are important for the www; chrome is just the most obvious one.
nicoburns•17m ago
Yep, https://html.duckduckgo.com works well in such browser though :)
rodarima•2m ago
The Google index is still accessible from many other "proxy search engines" that still work without JS, one example is Startpage.

See the nice list from Seirdy for more details on search engines: https://seirdy.one/posts/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-...

Am I the only one who has to giggle when reading that name?

I know people have somewhat related thoughts about the image editor called GIMP.

johnwheeler•10m ago
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing, kind of an unfortunate name. Why? It makes you think of a DILD*. Then you have to remind yourself, they probably mean armadillo.
