Dillo 2.0 is fast, but limited

I liked Dillo from the get go. Opera 9.1 is my default browser which I generally run no Scripting language [Java's not on my machines], and no graphics. I stay with 9.1 because O keeps adding crap I don't like with no way to not use the new junks, easily, I should say. 9.6 won't function on Win9x machines without a Win2K .dll added. Dillo I use with DSL and Puppy, and then I use O or SeaMonkey for things like comments at linux.com. When I go totally Linux I'm gonna miss K-Meleon though, unless the the Linux ver is improved. BUT here's the real deal for browsers: People who want info don't need flash, trash, shock, or schlock. Info is in words, and if you're looking for real speed Lynx will do the deed. BUT here's the but: graphs. They may be pics to some but real info is in them too, if you all ready know the word, and math, terminology to understand them. Really good web sites don't us scripting to show graphs, but most do. That interactive crap is just irritating, and I don't allow that crap to loop, poop, or scoop info from me; and that's what interactive means--finding out about YOU. I noticed that MSFT when interactive with http://autos.msn.com/everyday/gasstations.aspx and then apparently traffic fell off so much they added: Do ya want the old page or the new interactive? Needless to say, if you show up with no scripting, you don't get asked that. I won't get started on the fascist google that Dillo defaults too. Bye.
