[edit] Windows version?
I see only Gnu/Linux and NetBSD on the Dillo download page at http://www.dillo.org/download.html --Wootery 14:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- Dillo for Windows is a not supported not official and unstable port. FedericoMP 02:39, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] PS2 port?
Wait, hold on a second. You say this browser will work on a PS2. Do tell me more... --Hyad
- Yes, with the Linux kit - run it m'self sometimes. (see [1] in the cfyc section of the playstation2-linux.com site) --Bob aka Linuxlad 13:57, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

- That is a little misleading though, as Firefox will also run on PS2 linux, as will Mozilla and konqueror. Dillo is just a standard program, and ps2 linux can run any linux program, so saying that a "feature" of dillo is ps2 compatibility seems a little bit pointless to me, as browsing the articles for Gaim, Rhythmbox, Gedit, Gimp, etc, don't state "ps2 linux compatibility" as a feature.

- Er? What is misleading, please? - 1) I too have tried Firefox on the ps2 - it is horrible, lots of paging. 2) The ps2 is, by modern standards, a small-memory, slow machine and 3) dillo is a browser with a very small memory footprint.

- No one is claiming dillo is especially designed for the ps2, but it is designed for machines LIKE the ps2. I also run dillo on my old (slackware 4 powered) 486 laptop - get the picture? --Linuxlad 08:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mac OS X port
I have not seen a native port of Dillo to the Mac OSX. Why is it in Mac OSX category? --Anon.
- Probably because of the GNU Darwin packages linked in the downloads page. --maru (talk) contribs 04:09, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Development continues?
Is dillo really dead now? The wait for the new all-singing FLTK version has been very long and there's no news or any sign of progress for *months*. This is equivalent to 5cm layer of dust in open source world.
- Well 0.8.6 wasn't out very long ago, and had some FLTK2 components (I remember it took an age to get them working on the PS2). As for the recent picture why not check out the recent commits on cvs. Bob aka Linuxlad 16:37, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

- Dillo's not dead. The development is proceeding but not in public because of lack of funds, which are a must for futher development.
[edit] Highly Secure
"Dillo is highly secure - cookies are disabled by default, for instance." OK so maybe it's a secure browser, but I hardly think having cookies disabled shows it as being any more or less secure than other browsers. How about a better example of what makes it secure?
