Funny, I never even heard of dillo until I got beta1. So, because they put it
in there I gave it a shot. It works good enuf.
I have looked for a decent browser for local stuff for a while. I have tried
quite a few but dillo seems to have the development at the right stage. I
wish it was a little more stable but it opens the HTML docs _now_ and I like
that.
Maybe putting "Fast Document Browser" as a tool tip would keep it in the
release defaults. It is not really a good web browser, yet, but it is staying
on this system anyway for all the docs that are local.
