You can get the browser to confirm you want to close the tab. That's what I did with my little single-file scrapbook thing: http://kaimac.org/posts/scrapbook/index.html

Have you tried using Ladybird? The performance is unfortunately not very good. On the other hand Dillo loads pages instantly, even if most pages don't look right.

New comment by kaimac in "British man appears in Spanish court over plane-bomb hoax"

kaimac — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 15:51:17 +0000

>The message, sent before Mr Verma departed Gatwick airport, read: "On my way to blow up the plane (I'm a member of the Taliban)."

>Mr Verma's message was picked up by the UK security services who flagged it to Spanish authorities while the easyJet plane was still in the air.

>A court in Madrid heard it was assumed the message triggered alarm bells after being picked up via Gatwick's Wi-Fi network.

I don't see what this has to do with Gatwick's wifi - presumably one of these agencies have their hooks in Snapchat somewhere, PRISM-style.

Thanks for writing all that out, I'm in a similar situation I suppose and you've made me feel better. And I love the idea of your ant colony.
