Linux browser like Dillo?
Posted: Sun Nov 27, 2011 5:08 pm
Me and my brother brought an old computer back from the dead. We got it an LCD monitor and the latest Puppy linux. On 96MB of RAM, it's the perfect OS!!! The programs that are able to run on it run very fast. Those that can't, well... have #killall ready in the terminal.
It could be because I'm using FAT32 and not a faster EXT3 file format, but some programs take forever to load. Chrome, Firefox, and Seamonkey either use too much ram, using lots of swap space, or they have too many libraries. When I activate any of them, all I hear for 30 minutes is harddirve clicking.
Netsurf is ok. It could be a bit faster, but it works and webpages look like they're suppose to.
Dillo is the fastest browser I've ever seen, while still showing images. It's rough when it comes to CSS and it won't let you log into your school blackboard account. I love it, though. On this slow computer Dillo pops open instantly. It's only 400kb, after all. If only I could use it for school stuff if I needed it would be amazing.
Come across any browsers like Dillo ? Thanks!
