Goofy icon thing? Be more specific. Do you mean the large google thing in the corner of the page, that's midori, incorrectly rendering google.

You're right I just installed Midori and it did the same thing. Now to uninstall...

What webkit version is midori based on? The example browser renders google fine.

**warfacegod** · May 20th, 2010

From the Midori site:

Requirements: GTK+ 2.10, WebkitGTK+ 1.1.1, libXML2 libsoup 2.25.2

Optional: Unique 0.9, libidn, sqlite 3.0, docutils, libnotify

1GB of RAM should be more than enough just for web browsing. Firefox has memory leak issues however so just try out Chrome, otherwise something is terribly wrong or it's the web content that's taking up your RAM. The browser isn't going to compact what's already on the website. If that's the case try using xcfe or LXDE for a desktop environment. Also actually check if it is your RAM being eaten up. As long as you don't run out of RAM, you won't loose any performance from it.

EDIT: Just checked it out myself. Chrome uses almost no RAM, it's just the content on your page probably or something else is wrong.

epiphany? or even the webkit gtk sample browser, GtkLauncher (not sure if it is built with the ubuntu webkit package. But its definitely not in $PATH by default - normally in /usr/libexec or something)

This browser qualify 100/100 on Acid3 Test,
it uses less than 10Mb, Use URL as PARAMETER.

Right, but in this case, less code you write doesn't mean you browse the web faster and lighter.

BTW, it seems you didn't credit the author of this snippet, take a look here:
