'''Dillo''' is a small (~350 [[Kilobyte|kB]]), [[Computing minimalism|minimalistic]] multi-platform [[web browser]].
It is particularly suitable for older or smaller computers and [[embedded system]]s. In addition to its small size, Dillo is highly secure — [[HTTP cookie|cookies]] are disabled by default, for instance<ref>[http://www.dillo.org/FAQ.html#q8 Dillo FAQ "How do I enable cookies?"]</ref>. Dillo is available for most [[POSIX]]-compliant [[Unix]] platforms, including [[Linux]], [[Berkeley Software Distribution|BSD]], [[Solaris (operating system)|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 was first released in December 1999. It is written in the [[C programming language]] using the [[GTK+]] and [[FLTK]] graphical toolkits. Released under the [[GNU General Public License]], Dillo is [[free software]].
== Features ==
Dillo, as of release 0.8.6, has no support for [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]], [[JavaScript]], [[Java platform|Java]], or character encoding beyond [[Latin-1]]. Support for [[Framing (World Wide Web)|frames]] is very limited: Dillo makes each frame a link, then shows the NOFRAMES portion of the page in question. There is no support for [[Tabbed document interface|tabs]] and encoding selection in official releases, but these features are available in third-party patches. Third-party patches also exist to support [[Anti-aliasing|antialiasing]] of text and non-Latin characters.
Currently, development efforts are focused not on adding more features, but in finishing porting Dillo from the GTK+ toolkit to the [[FLTK]] 2 graphics toolkit, improving the prototypical support for [[Transport Layer Security|SSL]], and in general improving the framework which allows [[plugin]]s to be easily written and included (as in [[Mozilla Firefox|Firefox]]).
== Development ==
[[Image:Dillowinport.PNG|thumb|Windows port of Dillo]]
The FLTK 2 port has become quite complete and mature but was not been publicly released for years due to lack of funding which is necessary for further Dillo development. According to main developer, Jorge Arellano Cid, there is not enough support from companies which are using Dillo in their products, such as in embedded systems. Jorge claimed that Dillo will not be released without more support from companies. On 30 September 2007, tarballs of alpha-quality Dillo builds based on FLTK were released by Cid.
On [[30 August]] [[2006]] there was an effort to find corporate funders.<ref>[http://fornix.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=Campaign_to_help_Dillo_survive&oldid=1648 Campaign to help Dillo survive]</ref>
On [[25 February]] [[2007]] the project was declared frozen until funding or new developers appeared.
