That’s right, but I think a browser does not necessarily have to be based on it (to be a good one). Anyway, Dillo is completely outdated, no question.

I used to use Dillo way back in the day, and it was great for low-end-hardware even then. It's good to know someone's picked it up again. I'm going to have to check it out again and see how it manages the current state of the web (at least the static parts of it).
It does not nearly display current HTML web sites correctly, but in the old days it was a good browser for low-source computers. Under Debian (and Ubuntu etc., I presume) it is still installable via terminal command (sudo apt install dillo).

It appears to be abandoned or discontinued; there hasn't been a commit to the mercurial repository since 2018. It's UI was charmingly out of date, wasn't HTML5 compatible, and didn't support JavaScript (which is kind of a plus), but it was pretty great for what it was.
