In 1999, developers including Jorge Arellano Cid forked the Gzilla/Armadillo code to create the Dillo web browser, which is now 25 years old as of December 2024. Despite facing stalls and changes, the project has survived. Jorge led the project until 2019, when Rodrigo took over and resurrected it without any relation to the previous developers. Surprisingly, the browser was ported from GTK1 to FLTK2, then to FLTK 1.3. The project faced challenges, including the passing of key developer Sebastian Geerken. However, in 2023, Rodrigo began patching Dillo and successfully released version 3.1.0 in 2024, attracting new contributors and interest.
