The vast information resources available across the Web,
very often get underused because of the ficticious
hardware (HW) and software (SW)
requirements some selling companies try to impose.
<p>
On the other hand, organizations and companies that want to deliver
(or provide) informative contents, don't try to encumber them under
propietary technologies that may challenge the user.
<p>
<b>Dillo</b> serves as a tool for browsing all of those sites, quickly,
comfortably and efficiently, and keeping the hardware & software
requirements
constant on the user side.
<p>
That way, a person with an old computer, handheld or PDA,
and a simple dialup connection can get informed quite well.

Monitoring of Web activities, information gathering, profiling and
specially spying web-surfer's habits has become a valuable target
pursued by some organizations with obscure methodologies.
<p>
One step further are those trying to collect emails (for SPAM),
account/passwords pairs (for impersonation), and credit
card information (for fraud).
<p>
Even more, some times the user's own web browser can act as a
"trojan horse" that happily collects information from the user's
private files, or configuration places, to later send it to
specific data-collector servers.
<p>
This is generally done by:
<ul>
<li>Programming the browser to do it</li>
<li>With hidden code inside the browser binary</li>
<li>Abusing of cookies technology</li>
</ul>
<p><br>
Currently Dillo avoids those threats by:
<dl>
<dt><b>Being Free Software in the terms of the
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GPL</a></b></dt>
<p>
<dd>Anyone can study its source code, so there's no place for hidden
trojans inside.</dd>
<p>
<dt><b>Not allowing browser programming from the outside.</b></dt>
<p>
<dd>It is certainly very attractive to let foreign programs run on
the local computer, but that means that anyone can program your
computer. This doesn't happen with Dillo.</dd>
<p>
<dt><b>Not sending any private data to the net.</b></dt>
<p>
<dd>Unless explicitly commanded by the user, Dillo will not
silently send any personal data as default behaviour.</dd>
<p>
<dt><b>Having a strict cookies policy and being
<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2965.txt">RFC-2965</a>
compliant</b></dt>
<p>
<dd>Dillo denies all cookies by default, but the user can customize
this behaviour on a fine grained basis for specific sites.<br>
As an aditional protection, dillo observes every anti-abuse
suggestion in the RFC-2965.</dd>
</dl>
<p><br>
Note that this is only the iceberg's tip; a lot more can be said...
