Introduction

Dillo is a web browser designed to be fast, use few resources and support +slow and unreliable Internet connections on resource-constrained machines. It +can load local and remote files via HTTP, HTTPS and FTP. Other protocols like +Gemini, Gopher, IPFS and others are available as +plugins.

+ +

Dillo supports a subset of HTML 4.01 and CSS 2.1 but it doesn't support +JavaScript and only implements some elements of HTML 5 and CSS 3. It also +renders plain text documents and images in PNG, JPG and GIF formats.

+ +

Reading

In this section we cover the basics to read a web page, scrolling and finding +or copying text.

Basics

+The graphical interface is designed to be used with a mouse or pointing +device. In the top of the browser window you have the location bar and the main +buttons to control the browser. You can leave the mouse for a brief moment over +any part of the menu to show a tooltip with more information. +

+Dillo has context sensitive menus, which are opened with the right mouse +button, available on pages, links, images, forms, the Back and Forward buttons, +and the bug meter. They show different actions to be performed specific to the +element. For example, to save a page you can right-click on the page and select +"Save page as...". Or to copy a link URL you can right-click on a link and +select "Copy link location". +

+Dillo can hide the pannels and use the whole window area to display the page. To +switch between modes use the ESC key. You can also choose the control panel size +by going to the Tools button and selecting a different one under "Panel size". +

+If you need to access this manual again press the top right "?" button to open +it. It doesn't require a network connection. - -
Welcome to Dillo 3 -
-

Scrolling

- - +

There are several methods to move or scroll the view of the current page.

- -

Basics:

Using the keyboard: +
- Use the Home or End keys to jump to the top + or to the end of a page.
- Use PgUp or PgDn to advance a whole + page (window size).
- Use the arrow keys to move the view a step in that + direction.
- You can also use the Space key as PgDn and + b as PgUp.
+
Using the mouse or pointing device:
- You can tell a link from plain content by the hand-shaped cursor. +
- Rotate the mouse wheel to move one step in that direction. +
- Keep the middle button (or mouse wheel button) pressed while + dragging to scroll the page precisely. +
+
Using the scrollbar: +
- Drag the thumb in the scrollbar on the side up or down to scroll the + page. +
- Left-click or right-click on the scrollbar above or below the thumb to + move one page in that direction. +
- Middle-click on the scrollbar above or below the thumb to jump to that + specific position of the page. +
- Click the scrollbar arrows to move the view one step in + that direction. +
+

Besides browsing the web, Dillo also has basic file browsing - capabilities included. So, entering file: in your - Dillo URL window will give you the contents of your current - working directory, and file:~ entered in the - same place will point your Dillo browser right to your home - directory... +

You can control the size of a step by setting the +scroll_step option in the dillorc +configuration file. By default it will scroll 100 pixels per step.

Dillo, at this stage of development, is not ready - to render pages that use frames. - Nevertheless, it comes with a tiny handler (lynx/w3m-like) that will - let you choose which frame to visit, one by one. +

Find text

+To find text in a document right-click to open the Page menu and select +Find text. It is also available by the default shortcut +Ctrl+F. Then type the substring that you want to find and click +Next (or the Enter key). +

+Dillo will scroll the page and highlight found text starting from the top. To +find a word (not a substring) use spaces around it to limit the search to +matching words only. +

+To close the find bar you can click on the red X on the bottom right or press +ESC. -

Dillo has context - sensitive menus using the right mouse button - (available on pages, links, images, forms, the Back - and Forward buttons, and the bug meter). +

Copy and paste

+To copy some text just hold down the left mouse button and move to select the +area to copy. To paste, go to the target application and press the middle mouse +button. +

+If you want to select more than one screen, hold the mouse button down and +scroll with PgUp, PgDn or the arrow keys. +

+If you want to paste an URL into Dillo, do it on the "clear-URL" +button (the "X" next to the location bar). +

Some of the functions in Dillo are handled by independent - processes. For instance, downloads come through - wget. - If Dillo exits, the downloads continue (more details - below). + +This section focuses on how to navigate to other pages by following hyperlinks, +using bookmarks, typing or pasting a new URL or using the history. +

Hyperlinks

- -

Hyperlinks to other pages change the cursor to a hand to indicate that +an element can be clicked with the left button: +

+ +

+Links to other pages usually appear in +blue and underlined +by default and once they are visited they change to +purple. +However, this is not always the case, so using the mouse cursor shape is the +best indicator of a +link. +

+When you follow a link by clicking on it, the previous pages will be remembered +in case you want to go back to them. Use the Back and Forw buttons on the top +bar to navigate among history pages. +

- - +
History
+
+When you follow several links across different web pages, they are remembered in +case you can to go back. Use the "Back" and "Forward" buttons of the panel to go +to the previous or next page. +
+You can also right-click on the Back or Forward buttons to open a menu with the +list of previous or next pages available, so you can jump directly to them. Use +the left button to open them in the current tab or the middle button to open +them in a new tab. +
+The , (comma) and . (dot) keys can be used to jump +backwards or forward (mnemonic: those keys are usually labeled "<" and +">"). -
-
-
Usage:
-
-
-
You can scroll around your Dillo main window using - {PgUp|PgDn|Home|End} or using the mouse middle button - or mouse wheel. If nothing happens when keys are pressed, try - focusing your Dillo main - window first by clicking it (not on any link!:)). +
Location bar
+
+The location bar on the top displays the URL of the current page loaded and can +be used to access other pages by typing the new URL or by pasting it and +pressing Enter. +
+The red x +on the left clears the location bar content when left clicked. Then you can type +or paste a new address from the clipboard by middle clicking on the location +bar. +As these two actions are usually performed together, you can simply middle-click +on the +x +button to go to the URL in the clipboard. +
+You can also select the location bar content from the keyboard by pressing +Ctrl+L. -
You can use the space key as PgDn, and {'b' | 'B'} as PgUp.
+
Web search
+
+Several search engines are available by pressing the magnifying glass icon next +to the location bar or by pressing Ctrl+s. The search engines are +configured in Dillorc with the option +search_url. Use it multiple times to define multiple search +engines. +
+The location bar can also be used to search the web by using an special prefix +for each search engine. For example, the following line:
+
+search_url="dd DuckDuckGo http://duckduckgo.com/lite/?kp=-1&kd=-1&q=%s" +
+
+Defines the "DuckDuckGo" search engine with the prefix "dd", so you +can type in the location bar "dd dillo browser" to search with +DuckDuckGo for the keywords "dillo browser". -
Similarly, you can use "," and "." as shortcuts for - forward and backward buttons (mnemonic: those - keys are usually labeled "<" and ">"). +
Tabs
+
+Dillo can open different web pages into tabs. To open a link in a new tab click +the middle button instead of the left button. The same applies to buttons to +submit a form. +
+By default the new tab will be automatically focused. If you want to change +this behaviour, adjust the following options in the +dillorc configuration file: +
+middle_click_opens_new_tab +focus_new_tab +
+
+Press Shift to temporarily reverse the focusing behaviour while +middle-clicking on a link. +
+To close a tab press the X button on the top right (only visible with multiple +tabs). You can also close the tab by clicking with the right button on the tab +label. The middle button can be used instead setting the option: +
+right_click_closes_tab=NO +
+ +
Bookmarks
+
+Dillo can save URLs of web pages as bookmarks so you can open them later. To +bookmark the current page, open the page menu by left-clicking on the page +and select "Bookmark this page" (it also works over a link). +
+To see or edit the bookmarks, click on the Bookmarks button on the pannel or +press Ctrl+B. +
+Bookmarks are handled by a builtin Dillo plugin named bm (read more +about plugins in the Plugins section) and are +synchronized across all instances of the browser. The list of bookmarks can also +be shown by opening the URL dpi:/bm/. +
+The bookmarks are stored in a simple plain text file named bm.txt +(see the details of this file in the bm.txt section). You +can edit the file directly to change the bookmarks. + +
Privacy and network
-
Configuration: If you want to change Dillo's - appearance or behaviour, look at the options in your - dillorc - file (if you don't have a copy in your ~/.dillo/ directory, get it - here). +
The default privacy policy in Dillo attempts to keep the user safe from +tracking, even if this policy breaks a lot of website functionality. In +this section you can add exceptions or relax the configuration at your own risk. -
Clicking the "Reload" button always requests an end-to-end reload - of the page currently viewed, but it will *not* reload embedded - images during this process. +
HTTPS
-
Dialogs can be closed with the ESC key. - (ESC also hides the findbar and control panels) +
Dillo has support for HTTPS, allowing it to connect securely to remote +websites. Use the protocol "https:" to specify the use of HTTPS. +When a problem is encountered with the remote certificate, a warning dialog +explains the details and allows you to choose what to do: continue loading the +website or cancel. +
+By default Dillo looks for a TLS library at build time, which can be OpenSSL or +mbedTLS. You can see which library is being used by looking at the messages of +Dillo when it starts: +
+$ dillo +dillo_dns_init: Here we go! (threaded) +TLS library: OpenSSL 3.2.1 30 Jan 2024 +... +
+ +
Cookies
+
+Due to privacy concerns, cookies are disabled by default unless +explicitly enabled in the configuration. +
+Support for cookies is implemented using a plugin that shares them +between several instances of Dillo and follows the +RFC 6265 +specification. Current cookie limits are 20 per domain and +1200 in total. + +
Cookies are configured by the cookiesrc configuration file. See +the Cookiesrc section to see how to enable cookies for +some domains or accept them by default.
+ +
Proxy
+
Dillo can use a HTTP proxy by setting the environment variable +http_proxy or the +configuration option with the same name. All HTTP and +HTTPS traffic will be sent through the proxy. + +
Note: Plugins may not implement proxy support. +
+ +
Ad blocking
+
Dillo has the ability to block content when loading a page based on the domain +the embeded content is being loaded from. You can control how Dillo handles +automatic requests for resources (like images and style sheets) that aren't at +the same domain as the original page.
+ +
See the domainrc configuration file to find out how to +specify which domains are blocked or allowed.
+ +
Downloads
+
Downloads are made using +wget +with a FLTK-based GUI wrapper, through +the Dillo plugin (dpi) framework. +If you close the browser window, downloads will continue.
+ +
Images-off mode
+
+You can browse without images now: +
+
There is an option in the Tools menu to disable automatic image loading. +An image's alt text (or [IMG] placeholder) will appear in the +page. +
If you want to load an individual image, left click on its text. +
You can set "no images" as the default mode in dillorc. +
+ +
Configuration
+ +
Dillo has several configuration files that control the behavior of the +browser. Each configuration file is searched first in the +~/.dillo directory and, +if not found, in the default system configuration directory (typically +/etc/dillo).
+ +
Most configuration files can include comments by starting a line +with the "#" symbol. Their specific syntax is described in the +following sections.
+ +
Dillorc
+ +
The main configuration of Dillo is controled by the +dillorc file. +The list of all available options can be found in the system +configuration file, typically +/etc/dillo/dillorc. You may +want to copy it into +~/.dillo/dillorc +and edit it to suit your needs.
+ +The file is commented to describe what each option does. The default value for +each option as well as other interesting values are also available as comments: +
+
"#option=..." shows the built-in default.
+
"# option=..." is an additional example.
+
"option=..." overrides the built-in value.
+
+ +
Some options can be specified multiple times, for example +search_url: +
+search_url="dd DuckDuckGo (https) https://duckduckgo.com/lite/?kp=-1&q=%s" +search_url="Wikipedia http://www.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%s&go=Go" +
+ +
Cookiesrc
+ +
Cookies are configured in the +~/.dillo/cookiesrc +file by using rules, with one rule per line. The rule syntax is very simple, +first specify the host and then the action, separated by +whitespaces. Comment lines start with # as the first character and +the whole line is ignored. +
+The host can be in the form example.com to match only that +domain or .example.com to match all subdomains of example.com. The +special word DEFAULT specifies the default policy, when no other +match occurs. +
+The action can be: DENY to ignore cookies, +ACCEPT_SESSION to only accept session cookies but don't save them +to disk and ACCEPT to accept and store cookies in disk (this will +allow sites to track you over time). +
+When the cookies plugin exits, only the accepted cookies by ACCEPT +are saved to +~/.dillo/cookies.txt, +and ACCEPT_SESSION cookies are +forgotten. The cookies plugin normally exits after a period of inactivity, but +you can force it to exit with the command dpidc stop. +
+Here is an example cookiesrc file: +
+# host action +DEFAULT DENY +fltk.org ACCEPT +.example.com ACCEPT_SESSION +
+
Which is parsed as follows:
+
+
Line 1: Comment line begins with #.
+
Line 2: Deny all cookies from all domains not otherwise specified (this is + the default). +
Line 3: Accept all cookies from fltk.org, and save them to disk when the + cookie plugin exits.
+
Line 4: Accept all cookies from all subdomains of example.com, but do not + save them when the cookie plugin exits.
+
+
+Dillo is especially concerned about privacy and security issues. Our advice is +to avoid cookies whenever possible and at most set ACCEPT_SESSION to +specific trusted sites. -
If you want to try a different control panel, right-click over the - tools button and select one that suits your needs, then make - it the default in your dillorc file. +
Domainrc
-
The whole window area can be used to display the page (ESC key). +
With the +~/.dillo/domainrc +file, you can control how Dillo handles automatic requests for resources +(like images and style sheets) that aren't at the same domain as the +original page. +
+The file contains one rule per line. Comments are specified by starting the line +with the # symbol. The default rule is either +default accept or default deny and will cause Dillo +to, respectively, accept all requests by default or deny all requests by +default. +
+Depending on the default rule, the next rules behave as exceptions by denying +specific connections or allowing specific connections, respectively. +
+Exceptions to the default rule are written in the format +source destination, and match request from the source domain to the +destination domain. The source and destination domains can be specified in three +ways: +
+
"*" to match any domain
+
"example.com" to match the specific host example.com
+
".example.com" to match example.com and any of its + subdomains
+
+
+Here is an example: +
+# Accept all requests by default +default accept +# But block some ad-sites and trackers from any domain +* .doubleclick.net +* .googleadservices.com +* .quantserve.com +
+ +
Style.css
+ +
Custom +CSS styles can be placed in the +~/.dillo/style.css +file to set default web page styles. To override page styles add the +"!important" flag. + +
Dpidrc
+ +
The configuration for plugins is placed in the +~/.dillo/dpidrc file.
+ +
Plugins are searched in the ~/.dillo/dpi/ directory first, and +then in the system directory if not found. The dpi_dir option +sets the system dpi directory and must be specified once. Here is +an example:
+ +
+dpi_dir=/usr/lib/dillo/dpi +
+ +
By default, plugins will receive requests at the URL +dpi:/name/, for example bookmarks are available at +dpi:/bm/. + +
Plugins can also be associated with a protocol (like "file:"). +When a request is made using the given protocol the associated plugin is used to +process the request. The rest of the file assigns a plugin to a protocol, one +per line. The syntax is +proto.name=path-to-plugin.dpi. The path of the +plugin is relative to the dpi directory. Here are some +examples of the builtin plugins:
+ +
+proto.file=file/file.dpi +proto.ftp=ftp/ftp.filter.dpi +proto.data=datauri/datauri.filter.dpi +
+ +
Here ( + red dot +) is an example image using the data: protocol used to define a PNG +image inline in a HTML document. +
+ +
bm.txt
+ +
Web page URLs can be saved as bookmarks so they can be accessed in the future. +Bookmarks are stored in a plain text file located at +~/.dillo/bm.txt. The file can be +modified by using the +Book button +in the toolbar and the context menu on a page or link, but they can also be +edited manually. Bookmarks are organized into sections and are given a +description (usually the page title).
+ +
The syntax of the bm.txt file is described as follows:
+ +
First, the sections are defined at the beginning, prefixed with a +:sN: identifier, along with the description of the +section:
+
+:s0: News +:s1: Blog +
+
Then every bookmark is added in a single line, by writing the section +identifier, the URL and a description:
+
+s0 https://slashdot.org Slashdot +s0 https://news.ycombinator.com/ Hacker News +s1 https://100r.co/site/log.html 100 Rabbits Log +
+
The bm.txt file is designed to be easily read by humans +and is suitable to be kept updated among machines by using a version control +tool. + +
Keysrc
+ +
The mapping of keys in Dillo is contolled by the +~/.dillo/keysrc file. +The format is "key = action" or +"<modifier>key = action". Lines that begin with a "#" are comments. +The commented-out bindings below show the defaults built into Dillo. + +
+
Modifiers recognized: Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Meta (on Mac OS X use "Meta" for +Command). + +
Key names recognized: Backspace, Delete, Down, End, Esc, F1 through +F12, Home, Insert, Left, Menu, PageDown, PageUp, Print, Return, Right, Space, +Tab, Up. + +
Multimedia keys: Back, Favorites, Forward, HomePage, Mail, MediaNext, +MediaPlay, MediaPrev, MediaStop, Refresh, Search, Sleep, Stop, VolumeDown, +VolumeMute, VolumeUp. +
+ +
If Dillo is running under X11, keys whose names are not recognized can be +specified using their keysym value in hexadecimal. Use xev to get +the keysym, for example: +
+0x1008ff27 = forward +
+ +
The action "nop" (no operation) can be used to remove a binding. + +
Example file:
+
+# "close-all" closes all tabs/windows and exits. +<ctrl>q = close-all + +# "left-tab" and "right-tab" switch to the left/right of the current tab. +<ctrl><shift>tab = left-tab + +# Use HJKL to move around +k = line-up +j = line-down +h = left +l = right +
+ +
Advanced usage
+ +These sections are regarded to experienced users of Dillo. + +
Plugins
+
The functionality of Dillo can be extended by using plugins, which can +translate other formats to HTML, implement new protocols or provide a custom +service.
+ +
Plugins can be written in any programing language and they +interact with the browser using the +DPI protocol. A +list of plugins +is available on the Dillo website. Some plugins are just a +few +lines of shell script, so you are encouraged to read them to learn how to +write your own plugins. Plugins are searched by looking for files that end with +the .dpi extension (or .dpi.exe in Windows) in +~/.dillo/dpi and dpi_dir (see the +Dpidrc configuration section).
+ +
There are two types of plugins: filters and servers. +Filters are executed for each request like a +UNIX pipe, +they read from the +standard input and write to the standard output. The name of filter plugin +programs must end in .filter.dpi. On the other hand, servers listen +on a socket for new requests. They can process several requests at the same +time, preventing the overhead of spawning multiple processes and they can easily +share information among requests.
+ +
You can install plugins from any third party, but you should always +review the source before running code written by others. To install a new +plugin, copy the files to ~/.dillo/dpi/name/ and +then associate the name protocol to the program that must run in +the +~/.dillo/dpidrc file. +Plugins may have other software dependencies required for it to work.
+ +
Here is an example of how to manually install the +Gemini protocol plugin +(it comes with a Makefile that automates the process, so this is not necessary), +which is a filter plugin written in shell script:
+
+$ mkdir -p ~/.dillo/dpi/gemini +$ cp gemini.filter.dpi ~/.dillo/dpi/gemini/ +$ chmod +x ~/.dillo/dpi/gemini/gemini.filter.dpi +$ echo "proto.gemini=gemini/gemini.filter.dpi" >> ~/.dillo/dpidrc +$ dpidc stop +
+
Now, when a request is made to an URL that begins with the +gemini: protocol, it will be processed by the +gemini/gemini.filter.dpi program, and the output will be displayed +by Dillo.
+ +
Bug Meter
+
+Dillo includes a +bug meter +which shows the number of detected bugs inside the page. The bugs are caught at +parsing time, so the error messages also show the line where they occur and +provide a hint of what was expected instead. +
+The primary purpose of the bug meter is to help webmasters and page authors to +polish the contents of their sites with a view to making them +compliant with HTML standars. +
+The bug meter is located at the lower right corner of Dillo. Use the left-click +to see the messages, right-click for a menu to open other HTML validators. -
