It’s a shame that in my case trying to use Dillo here (HN) keeps returning 429, something that doesn’t happen with "full‑size" browsers (JS?).

View on HN

There are no special rules against modern browsers. Can you reproduce it systematically?, if so, any chances you can paste the HTTP headers?

In any case, apart from our cgit instance we have mirrors in Codeberg and SourceHut:

- https://git.dillo-browser.org/dillo/

- https://codeberg.org/dillo/dillo

- https://git.sr.ht/~dillo/dillo

I meant browsing HN with Dillo. And it is not Dillo's fault. Other not "mainstream" browsers have the same problem.

Ahh, I see. Yes, I also see it sometimes, for those cases the "Mimic Chrome" workaround usually fixes it.

I assume is a side effect of abusive crawlers compounded with Dillo headers not being very common.

Very possible. I was too lazy to investigate.

BTW Thanks for all fixes, especially this one https://bug.dillo-browser.org/511/. Dillo (3.2.0) crashed quite often on my system because of this bug. I hope I will compile and test the new release soon.

I can browse HN fine with both Servo [0] and Blitz [1] (the latter of which is no-JS like Dillo). So I think there might be something Dillo-specific going on here.
