I can't believe it myself, but yes, I've made #Dillo my default browser on my personal laptops. It's never been my default, even though I've used it occasionally, off-and-on, for 25 years. XD
I still fire up #LibreWolf (#firefox fork) occasionally on those machines, but #DilloBrowser fits in this neat space between terminal browsers and "full-fat" browsers like Librewolf and #luakit.
I'm just wishing it had a "follow mode" for following links from the keyboard, and wondering if there was some way to make it use the clipboard by default, instead of primary selection. I don't quite understand why classic X11 programs use primary selection so much. XD
Trying browser alternatives...
#Dillo: the GOAT. Very basic, but crazy fast. Lacks modern less/vi-style keyboard navigation
Update: Dillo's keybinds are pretty flexible, and the config files is pretty easy to understand. #TIL!!
#NetSurf: a bit more compatible with the modern web, pretty comfy to use, but also lacking the keyboard navigation features I'm really used to and loving in plugins like Vimium
#LuaKit: #WebKit-based. Capable and modern, yet fairly lightweight. The scrollbar is an abomination, though. What even is that? iOS?!? Also, turning off JS turns off a lot of features in the browser, last time I tried it
#XLinks: lacks CSS, but is very usable for basic sites. Keybinds are nonstandard, but usable
#chawan: probably the best terminal browser out there I've seen so far, but sometimes you really want a graphical browser with terminal-ish features, instead
P.S., Thanks to @evgandr, I have learned that you can customize #DilloBrowser's keybinds! Fantastic stuff!!
