@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]https://old.reddit.com/ is actually somewhat usable with dillo.
I think the best approach to surviving the current webpocalypse is to just forget about having "one browser to rule them all."
Take a multi-vectored approach:
- Use a terminal browser like w3m, links, lynx, or chawan when doing some quick-and-dirty lookups, or when you don't feel like faffing about with a mouse at all
- Use #Dillo for blogs, #smolweb sites, and sites that you don't want eating your cpu if you load them in a full browser
- Optionally use #NetSurf for the few sites you know work better with it
- Use #Firefox with your own custom settings or a fork like #LibreWolf for things that really require full JS and that kind of thing
- Use a Blink-based browser like #Falkon or #UnGoogledChromium for the rare cases where a website just doesn't like firefox
I don't have dillo as my default browser on most of my systems now, but on all of my systems, I have one keystroke to open firefox or librewolf, and another to open dillo. A lot of times, I'll grab the url from
@[email protected], launch dillo with a keystroke, and paste in the URL. If it doesn't work in dillo for some reason, or the formatting is too far off, it's easy enough just to fire up the old fox and paste in the url there.
Here's a link to a toot where I discovered how to tweak the colors in dillo to be a bit more contrasty:

keysrc file for more keyboard-friendly navigation (a little like qutebrowser or luakit, but only a little so far):
