Dactyloidae browser

This page was last updated at: May 3, 2026

Dactyloidae is a Desktop web browser that runs on Windows. It's been developed for about 8 years, and while there was an update at some point this year, the project appears to be idle at the moment. Dactyloidae's website doesn't work any more, so it's hard to find more information about it.

Not much is known about this web browser; it appears to be a fork of Eclipse Hydra (fork of Basilisk, which is itself a fork of Firefox, focusing on support for Windows XP). The developer has posted on the Palemoon forums that it is a hobby project, while they are finishing off their College exams. So it probably won't receive many updates at the moment, but hopefully it will continue to be developed and supported in the future.

Talk on the forums indicate that there has been some great speed improvements to some of the Javascript memory management. If anyone knows more, please drop a note in the feedback box.

The website doesn't currently work so it's hard to find more information about it.

If anyone has more information about it; please let me know so I can add more info here.
