Hello everybody

I completely happy with dillo just the way it is. I consider it
insane to go on the web with javascript enabled and apart from
gmail I don't normally have cookies enabled. (how can I
differentiate the two users? i.e I have dillo of user 1 on the
the screen and a dillo of user 2 also on the screen but the 2
dillo's are identical in appearance). Anyway all of a sudden
after using dillo for a year or so I find there is a website that
I absolutely must get on but it requires javascript. Well okay I
search the web to try to find something, anything that has
javascript (I've been searching for day and night for about a
week now) and find that there are two things

 1) Massive huge bloatware
 2) dillo

Most things don't build, or don't have any kind of a build system
or are for x86 (I'm on arm) so I figure I have to bite the bullet
and build firefox. I've been rolling my own system for about 20
years so so I know whats involved but after two config failures
and it failing on the gigantic final link after an 8 hour build,
I come to the conclusion that lifes not worth it. I don't want
that piece of junk on my computer anyway. Links2 at one time had
javascript but they abandoned it and elinks has javascript as
long as you have seamonkey installed (tarball>190Mbytes)

Anybody got any ideas?

I did find one thing. "duktape" (http://duktape.org/)which seems
to be an exceptionlly fine piece of code which is an embeddable
Ecmascript E5/E5.1 engine with a focus on portability and compact
footprint.  All the examples compiled out of the box and linking
it to dillo (duktape.c duktape.h) took a few minutes to change
the makefile.  The size's of the files are

dillo  558,480
dillo  767,456 with ducttape

I don't know enough to be able to do anything with it (I work
with hardware) but thought someone might be interested as a route
to get javascript on dillo.
