Dillo 3.3.0 is a new versioned release of the lightweight, no-JavaScript browser built for minimal resource use.
Key Takeaways
Dillo is a small-footprint browser that does not execute JavaScript, prioritizing speed and simplicity over modern web compatibility.
Version 3.3.0 marks a numbered release milestone for the project, signaling continued maintenance and development activity.
Because Dillo omits JavaScript, it exposes how much of the modern web is inaccessible or hostile to non-JS clients.
The browser is relevant for constrained environments, privacy-focused use, and testing how sites behave without scripting.
Hacker News Comment Review
Early reports show Dillo hitting HTTP 429 rate-limit responses on sites that do not block full-size browsers, pointing to server-side JS fingerprinting or bot-detection that flags headless or no-JS user agents differently.
