@kfh all the more reason to try out a different, less featureful browser like #Netsurf or #Dillo for plain web surfing...

I started to develop a minimal version of FosseryWeb 1-2 weeks ago, with the aim of Dillo and NetSurf compatibility, I just "finished" the site (in the sense that all articles and cheatsheets are available there).

In the beginning, it was a bit challenging to find ways to implement the planned design in a way that it isn't broken in the above mentioned browsers, but actually it was a fun challenge, it was a bit like a "don't use modern CSS features" challenge lol. I had to make some changes to the originally planned design to make it work, but hope you like it.

Besides the compatibility thing, I also made the site as lightweight as possible, by including only the necessary CSS styles for each page (mostly), and only include images where it's necessary (e.g. in a few cheatsheets).

If you noticed a bug or have any recommendation, feel free to drop a comment.

I'm aware of some article/cheatsheet download issues mentioned on the Known issues section of the About page (fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/a), but I couldn't find a solution for those yet (some of those are browser-related, so I can't really do anything about them I guess). I could solve the Dillo issue by including Markdown files in zip, but even then, unzipping it is one extra step, so it wouldn't be any better than right clicking on the link imo.

Hi @Mojeek, can you fix your search engine so that it works without JavaScript?

To reproduce I guess you'll need to visit the search engine with a fresh IP on any of #Dillo, Links, Netsurf or W3M. Any search term causes the error for me. You won't be able to reproduce it if you already did a search on Firefox (and possibly other modern browsers).

I'll assume this is yet another case of collateral damage caused by LLM scraping protection.

I just discovered [rdrview], a command-line "reader view" for websites, and I absolutely love it. Absolutely going to be a part of my terminal-life arsenal from now on. It cuts through a lot of the visual cruft you're subjected to when viewing websites on the terminal.

Kudos to @bbbhltz for turning me on to it via his excellent [post on Dillo].

Ctrl+C now works as expected in #Dillo to copy the selection into the clipboard.

The primary selection was the only method supported to copy text from the page (select with left button to copy, paste with middle button).

Both methods are now available. 🥳

Google Search will be removed from #Dillo as it no longer works without JavaScript and Dillo's user agent. Other search engines continue to work well.

Sag mal @xtaran, da ich gerade darüber gestolpert bin, dass du der Debian Maintainer für das "dillo" Webbrowser Paket bist habe ich eine Frage.

Hast du die aktuelle Weiterentwicklung auf dem Radar und ist geplant die irgendwann in Debian aufzunehmen?

Playing with a new experimental tool "dilloc" to control #Dillo from the command line via a UNIX socket. Here is a simple example to open the current page in the reader view plugin (in the same tab):

% dilloc open rdrview:$(dilloc url)

The "dilloc url" command prints the current tab url to stdout, which can then be easily manipulated. Here is another example with sed, to redirect the current tab to the old reddit interface:

% dilloc open $(dilloc url | sed 's|www.reddit.com|old.reddit.com|')

Support for brotli just landed in #Dillo. It should reduce the HTML transfer size by about 20% when compared with gzip.

Looks like my blog displays correctly at least in #links :dragnhappy:

It's funny how " " displayed as "_"

#Dillo supports some subset of CSS3, but WIP, so the background image in the header doesn't displays correctly :dragnsad:

#blog #SmallWeb #css3

My blog opened in the console-based links browser. All text displayed correctly.

@martinschlegel @Extelec Pretty much any version of #NetBSD should run on a #ThinkPad T23 out of the box, and #pkgsrc will include the ~latest #firefox. I tested it on a ThinkPad T41, which is only two years more recent than the T23 - youtu.be/jYS4TcgxMxU

Now, whether you can do anything *useful* in modern Firefox on a 1GB 32 bit machine... not so much

#PaleMoon or #ArcticFox are pretty capable browsers which run well on smaller machines - and #Dillo will *scream* on that spec hardware 😛

Oh no, my blog shows up in the Dillo like a 💩

Looks like it's time to edit the CSS :dragngrimace:

Not sure what happened to dillo's mention, either.

The missing alt text may be a flaw with snac, its web interface, and/or dillo's lack of JS, I don't know.

It got the job done. 😂

But most of the time, I just use @tut@fosstodon.org on my #OpenBSD box, although the snac web interface works pretty well in w3m as well.

The only reason I don't use #dillo more, and really my only "criticism" as it were would be the lack of vi/less-like keyboard navigation features.

If I could navigate my way around it like w3m, X?links, luakit, or even the fox+Vimium C, that would be AMAZING

One of the downsides of using the #DevTerm_R01 always was that there was seemingly no Browser suitable for the modern Web available. While #Dillo really works well on classic websites (and is blazing fast on the Devterms constrained resources), sometimes one simply needs to access the modern Web.

Well, i tried out surf from the #suckless project, and while - even with good will - it couldn't be called fast, it IS usable.
