This is a valid concern. Maybe there could be a warning if opening more
than 20 tabs (or whatever number is reasonable). I generally don't have
many more than that open anyway, and usually they are a mixture of
sites, so it shouldn't be a big issue for me at least.

On a side note, I still sometimes get blank tab names with no title,
even after this commit:
https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/pull/194/commits

Here is an example:
https://search.dojoro.de/

When I search for something, the address becomes:
https://search.dojoro.de/search

and yet the tab name still remains blank. It would be nice to have the
domain name as the tab name in these cases.

My use case for Dillo is mostly reading text (research, news, mailing
lists, oss dev sites, etc). I browse with images and css off by
default, for me they are usually an unnecessary distraction, and only
turn them on as needed. 

As for sites, 

Here are a few examples:
Search - SearXNG instances, frogfind.com, marginalia
Mailing lists - marc.info, mail-archive.com
Proxy - MortyProxy instances, floodgap.com gopher, gopherpedia
News - neuters.de, m.simplepie.org rss, rss-bridge instances
Tech - hn (or hngopher), tildes.net, lobste.rs, bleepingcomputer.com
Reddit - libreddit instances, gopherddit.com
Youtube - invidious instances, https://codemadness.org/idiotbox/
OpenBSD stuff - freshbsd.org, openports.pl, undeadly.org, etc
Social media - nope

Obviously this list is rather privacy focused, but I'd be happy to help
put together a more general list of sites which are Dillo-friendly. 

Regards,
Alex


PS:
Why don't I use reddit/google/wikipedia/news/etc directly instead of
using a intermediary? Because I don't trust them. I have nothing to
hide, but these corporations are evil, and I will go out of my way
to avoid them.
