    +1, it is also a joy to customize via the well-documented config file. E.g. Adding custom search operators is very straightforward and flexible. With some unix-y thinking, one could probably also accomplish some other useful tricks on the address bar, simply by writing a string substitution one-liner into the rc file. Compare that to about:config, Add-ons, etc. Ha. I somehow also very much enjoyed the not-so-good rendering. One may get used to it, I guess; even become fond of it -- you'll become more focused on the content/text and less on the layout. YMMW, but I always disabled all CSS and images. Also, I only recently (after roughly a decade of Dillo usage) noticed the --fullwindow (-f) command line option. This gives an extremely nice HTML renderer that loads in a second. I've been curious about the tiny Picolisp language, which, IIRC, uses localhost-bound HTML as its default GUI (1,2). Sending Picolisp commands from a terminal window to a --fullwindowed Dillo instance would make a very cool environment. Dillo is lightweight, modular, one-thing-well. Extremely user-friendly, simple to tailor to one's needs. A project that has managed to avoid bloat for 22 years. Unix philosophy at its best. Also, the executable is 872kb. Compare that to, uh, some other browsers. It is probably my all time favorite browser for the X environment. Even if one finds its HTML capabilities lacking (I don't; I see it as a feature, not a bug), then maybe, thanks to the plugin architecture, it would make a nice renderer for e.g. Gemini. 1. http://rosettacode.org/wiki/GUI_component_interaction#PicoLisp 2. https://picolisp.com/wiki/?guiscripting.
