Why do you want Dillo rather than links, links2, elinks, lynx, or Opera?
I could attempt to compile it for BL2 (glibc 2.2.5).

The sourceforge site says it is written in C and is under 300K source with 
200K binary.  Very fast.  No support for frames, or SSL (links1 and 2 have 
both).  Or FTP.

dillo latest file release 0.6.4 Jan 29 2002.  284K source. 1.9K/sec.

tar -zxvf dillo*
./configure
make (default configuration)

It compiled very quickly and it works.

Lots of dependencies - libjpeg.so.62, libpng.so.3, libgtk-1.2, libgdk-1.2, 
libgmodule-1.2, libglib-1.2, libXext.so.6, libX11.so.6 (would the BL3 ones 
work?).  libz.so.1.  If I compiled statically it would be quite large.

I happened to have these for other reasons but they would use 
up a lot of space in basic BL.  libgtk-1.2.so.0 alone is 1.3MB.

It loaded very fast.  Has Bookmarks.  I now have two (blank) tabs at page 
bottom for two sites.  Not a lot of features, but it is fast.  I had to 
use a mouse to navigate between links.

It displays quickly at llbean.com.

If you want to add libc and libm 2.2.5 (libdl?) and the other dependencies 
(which I think can be from Slackware 4.0) I will upload the file and also 
dillorc.  Let me know.

I prefer a browser that works for online mail, at the library, etc.
Have you tried links2?

No answer usually means nobody can help.
I asked for help compiling elinks with javascript, etc.
