Dillo Browser Release 3.3.0

The cult‑favorite tiny browser just dropped Dillo 3.3.0 and fans are buzzing. The update adds a new remote‑control tool (so scripts can open tabs, reload pages, and even dump content), plus “page actions” that let Dillo literally pretend to be Chrome to slip past fussy sites. There’s a fix so modern sign‑ins (OAuth—the “Sign in with X” stuff) actually work, and experimental support for a new graphics toolkit—promising, but the devs warn it may still look weird on some screens. Bonus: Dillo moved off GitHub to its own server, flexing indie cred.

Then the comments lit up. One user says Hacker News keeps throwing 429 errors at Dillo, fueling the vibe that the modern web is hostile to small browsers. Another rails that Google pushing “must have JavaScript” is “an attack on the open web,” while a privacy‑minded fan vows to go all‑in on Dillo if age‑check laws make big browsers add ID logic. Meanwhile, the name “Dillo” sparked giggles—yes, it’s giving GIMP‑name energy—and someone just dropped a simple “that’s cool,” which, honestly, says it all. The mood: scrappy underdog energy, with users cheering a lightweight refuge while grumbling at the big sites’ velvet ropes and JS walls.
