This is pretty big if it has a completely separate browser rendering engine to the two remaining families, even if the feature set is small.
The more current alternatives we have, the better.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

3 remaining families, WebKit, gecko and chromium
There is also Ladybird :
Ladybird is the only browser engine not financially dependent on Google.
It is early days but already becoming usable. I use it to browse sites like OSnews, Hacker News, and LWN.net and it already works pretty well for those.
I shouldve specified "major" families
I was counting WebKit and Blink (Chromium) as cousins, both descendents of KHTML, but maybe they've diverged enough as to not easily be able to borrow from each other any more and it really is three.
"Welcome to ~~Team Fortress 2~~ Dillo. After 9 years in development, hopefully it would have been worth the wait."
(I'm gonna try it, it seems neat)
No idea what it is but this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't open source. Cool!
Dillo browser's original project goal was to provide a web browser for people with slow Internet connection.
Here some screenshots of Dillo browser on a phone and how the developer did that :
And here's a screenshot of Dillo (and some other apps) running on a modern Samsung phone (Galaxy Fold 4) :)
This is...a travesty
I need a step by step guide on how you did this good sir.
What @lemmyreader said, except this is XFCE installed directly on Termux (and accessed via Termux-X11, a native X server for Android). No *buntu involved here. If you have an Android as well, you can set all this up (minus the actual Chicago95 theme) using this script.
damn I didn't even think of running a de on termux, thanks! Now I'm stuck here wishing xiaomi would actually allow one phone to have usb c 3.0
The screen shot has a document Xubuntu -> Chicago95 open which appears to be related to this :
Stunning - EDIT: The Android and Dillo browser part I meant!

I have fond memories of using dillo running on DSL live cd.
