Dillo

From postmarketOS Wiki

Dillo is a minimalistic and lightweight web browser particularly intended for older or slower computers and embedded systems. It supports only plain HTML/XHTML (with CSS rendering) and images over HTTP and HTTPS; scripting is ignored entirely.


Since the Dillo browser packed in Alpine/PostmarketOS is not usable on a touch enable mobilephone, toomanyatoms created a Mobilized-Dillo which works pretty nice on linux phones.

Latest version does not build on pmos!!! we can not reach the developer on any known channel, so we have to wait for a new release 🤷
