Hi,

Why does DSL have both Firefox AND Dillo?!  What does Dillo add?

I am not against Dillo, but would adding the very different Lynx which is only available as a myDSL extension.

Firefox+Dillo or Firefox+Lynx - which makes more sense?

Thanks for any explanation,

VS

lynx is a text browser. Why would you want to be stuck with only text? I like dillo, i'm using it now, it very fast for the stage it's at now and can only get better with time. If you want lynx add lynx. I find lynx is also not very new user friendly. Dillo works very well in cases were there's not enough ram to run FF.

It survives in low-ram situations where firefox would choke and die.
And it's much faster.

Dillo, does not suck up all the resources. You can see it for yourself, just open FF and look how much your ram goes up and look at your cpu hit 100% when starting, then do the same with dillo.
