Dillo is fine, but missing many features.

I am hoping to use Minimo instead of firefox. It is disappointing to me to 
have web browsers become slower and slower even though I get newer 
and faster hardware and more memory.

Old Netscape Navigator is faster on a 100Mhz machine with 48MB of memory 
than Firefox is today on 1000Mhz CPU with 1024MB of memory. For several 
years on a 400Mhz system with 128MB memory, I used Navigator for BSD/OS on 
NetBSD. It was usually stable and had acceptable speed and I could have it 
open for over 45 days at a time often with over 40 browser windows. Now 
Firefox for me is so slow on much faster systems, it is near unusable.
