Dillo 2.2 is launched but there isn't a .deb package for it yet in the official site.
I tried to install it from source but it seems it needs fltk2 and I couldn't manage compiling the latter.
So I found a simple way to installing it for the likes that ain't much familiar with the source code. I used

Puppy package.
I decompressed it with 7zip in Windows but there must be a way to do it in Linux (I only didn't try). Edit - I guess the .pet package is just a renamed .tar.gz (with a file with Puppy specific instructions - e.g. menus - added).
It will create a dillo-2.2 directory with all the files to put in /etc and /usr and their sub-folders.
To make things easier open a terminal and type 'dpkg -L dillo'. That will show the installed files, most of which you will substitute for the new ones.
Some files like the ones in /usr/share/doc aren't present in antiX to save space but do copy the file /usr/share/doc/dillo/user_help.html; the other ones ain't necessary (I guess /usr/share/doc/dillo.html has the same contents of the command 'man dillo' but you may check that for yourself).
There are some files already installed that are specific to Debian, like the menu ones. Leave alone the ones in /usr/share/applications and /usr/share/pixmaps too (don't substitute them).
I saw that there are /etc/dillorc and /etc/dpidrc which I overwrote with the same files I put in /etc/dillo/.

Your instructions worked to the letter secipolla. I will just elaborate a little since I did this in AntiX 8.5 rc3/4
I installed P7zip Full using synaptic and made sure mtools was installed also. Did this because I remebered Linux unetbootin needed these to work at extracting iso to usb. Figured it wouldn't hurt to install these anyhows. Have the room.
I renamed dillo2.2.pet to dillo 2.2.tar
right click and select extract here in pcmanfm. I had in /home/Downloads folder
Then did just what you suggested leaving apps and piximaps alone. Thank you for the explicit instructions secipolla. Nice! __{{emoticon}}__

If your set up is working so well I wonder what the need for fltk2 is?

Puppy's package says it has fltk statically linked..whatever may that mean.

statically from what I undertand from puppy pet packages and sfs files are installed without the ability to be updated. Like if they call a pet package Firefox static. That means you have to update Firefox manually.
Instead of being able to let Firefox update itself. That is my understanding. I have been wrong before though when it came to understanding linux terminology.

"Statically" means that the dependencies, like in this case fltk2, are shiped in the same package, for use of the main application. It is a kind of"all included", very common in windows.
