Light browser, good with rendering.

[dragos240]

When I mean light, I mean less than 10mb or ram usage. Dillo is VERY light, it uses less than 1mb of ram, however, it's rendering capabilities are very limited. Any suggestions?

less then 10mb, there won't be nothing decent. i use chromium, on average at least 30+mb.

Swiftfox is lighter than Firefox, if that helps. Tried Chrome, Dillo, and a few others but Fire/Swift-fox give me airmiles and I figure any sluggishness will be offset for that

Or just stop obsessing over RAM usage? Unless it significantly slows down your computer, you're being a tad perfectionist and unrealistic tbh.

I have 1gb of ram on my netbook. I run gnome. And with firefox, browsing is very laggy. It does affect my browsing significantly.

there you go, your using gnome & firefox. try a lighter desktop/window manager on the back end & chromium-browser(it's in the repo)

i'm using an atom 230 1.6ghz 1gb ram nettop.
running openbox + xfce4-panel + xfdesktop

i've never ever used more the 400mb yet.
