Dillo, the lightweight open-source web browser, has just released version 3.2 to mark its 25th anniversary. This update brings several enhancements, including basic support for SVG images and WebP image formats, along with a new scrollbar page navigation mode that allows users to scroll through pages as if reading a book.
In this latest release, developers introduced initial SVG support, which can help render mathematical formulas and simple SVG graphics. Users can also take advantage of the new scrollbar functionality that facilitates page navigation—clicking on the vertical scrollbar with the left mouse button scrolls one page down while the right mouse button scrolls back up. Additionally, the new scroll_page_overlap option lets users configure the overlap visibility of consecutive pages.
Further improvements include the link_action feature, which permits setting custom commands for opening new URLs, and options to reposition the vertical scrollbar on the left side of the webpage. Zoom controls have also been added allowing users to easily adjust text size via keyboard shortcuts.
On top of these features, Dillo 3.2 allows for a customizable new tab page and adds line-numbered anchors to HTML source views. It now displays JSON data as plain text and includes options that set defaults for opening new tabs and displaying quit dialog boxes.
Another significant enhancement involves image resizing that now maintains aspect ratios and adds reload functionality for live previews of web page edits. Support for various CSS units—from ch to vmax—has also been included, along with an ignore_image_formats option to bypass certain image types.
Dillo 3.2 can be downloaded from the project’s GitHub page as a source tarball, requiring users to compile it manually on their GNU/Linux distributions. While the browser celebrated 25 years since its inception on December 15, 2024, it is worth noting that Dillo may not fully support many modern websites, including popular platforms like YouTube, which limits its practical use in the current digital landscape.
