"At a time when developers seem to assume that users have gigabytes of RAM available, Dillo's emphasis on efficiency is a refreshing change."
Well said. That's the main reason why I'll follow Dillo's future development with great interest.
There was a period of a year or two when Dillo's development was stalled, but now they seem to have started developing Dillo again. Dillo's home page says that implementing CSS is a high priority goal in Dillo development. So that's probably the next big feature upgrade we can expect from the future Dillo versions, and it should greatly improve the way Dillo shows web pages.
Now, with the 2.0 release, they've just ported Dillo from GTK+ to FLTK2. That's a very welcome change and I expect they'll keep improving the GUI interface (by adding a configuration dialogue) in the upcoming releases.
Hopefully Dillo's current progress will attract more free software developers who want to work on a fast and lightweight web browser. I'd like to see features like javascript added to Dillo, while yet keeping Dillo slim and fast.
