Dillo is a minimalistic web browser particularly intended for older or slower computers and embedded systems.[2] It supports only plain HTML/XHTML (with CSS rendering) and images over HTTP and HTTPS; scripting is ignored entirely.[2][3] Current versions of Dillo can run on Linux, BSD, OS X, IRIX and Cygwin.[4] Due to its small size, it was the browser of choice in several space-conscious Linux distributions. Dillo is free software, released under the GNU GPL-3.0-or-later.[5]
Chilean software engineer Jorge Arellano Cid conceived the Dillo project in late 1999,[6] publishing the first version of Dillo in December of that year.[7] His primary goal in creating Dillo was to democratize access to information. Arellano Cid believed that no one should have to buy a new computer or pay for broadband in order to enjoy the World Wide Web.[8] To this end, he designed Dillo to be small, fast, and efficient, capable of performing well even on an Intel 80486 CPU with a dial-up Internet access.[2][9]
