@dillo The dilloc command seems awesome. I'm wondering if we could use it for more advanced uses. For example "select p.classname" and then "dump selection" to dump only the selected element. Another use could be "dilloc dump selection css" to see which styles are applied to an element by Dillo (similar to what you can do in the firefox web inspector). Or another use case might be to do screenshots "dilloc screenshot > webpage.png". Or "dillo scroll +50". OK might not be useful for everyone…

@dillo Great (and it turns out I was building against fltk 1.4.3 for weeks by accident. What a difference without those blurry fonts ha!

@dillo really cool..I love the unixy plugins/dilloc/actions, especially that they can live in my dotfiles-repo. Btw. is there a way to ALWAYS load certain page-actions before rendering? I'd like to always run fixpages.sh (https://git.dillo-browser.org/plugins/actions/) without having to rightclick. Perhaps: page_action_default="...." WDYT?

@dillo@fosstodon.org Hey! I use the Dillo browser for most reading and I have to say I only partially support your philosophy. I'm pro-modularity but I'm also maximalist. I very much agree with the idea of keeping Dillo within floppy-size, and playing videos externally with mpv + yt-dlp is exactly the modular approach I want. However, I don't think Javascript is inherently bad. I'll ask the question in the next message because of the 500 character limit.

@dillo@fosstodon.org So, the question is (out of curiosity): would it be technically possible to create a browser under 1.44 MB, that can run Javascript through an external program which then communicates with the browser and applies the desired changes? I don't necessarily mean full Javascript, maybe even just basic scripting capabilities (maybe displaying notifications on social media, or infinite scrolling). I'm not asking if you'd do it, just if it's technically possible.

@dillo@fosstodon.org With this approach, would it be possible to add any amount of arbitrary optional features into a minimalist browser through the use of external programs? I'd be very much interested in that, as my philosophy is modular but in many senses maximalist instead of minimalist. If this is technically possible, I'd be very interested.

@dillo@fosstodon.org Oh, and I would also like to make a request, if possible. That is, would it be possible to make /.dillo/style.css be able to differentiate between different websites (like Firefox's userContent.css) as well as giving the option to customize Dillo's interface? For example, changing the colors of the panel (I prefer bright, saturated colors instead of grey), or being able to remove that "bug tracker" bar on the bottom if one wants to. Would that make Dillo too heavy? Is it possible?

@dillo@fosstodon.org Basically, my idea is: having a browser like Dillo that is very simple in code and that can run on old hardware, and then one can arbitrarily add features and capabilities (including Javascript) on top of Dillo, without modifying the binary executable. The difference between "minimal" and "full" will then be a spectrum rather than a binary. My idea also involves extreme customizability. Would my idea be technically possible? Sorry for the multiple messages but, yk, character limit, haha.
