We all know that browsers are kinda like religion - everyone has one that they like, and thinks all the other ones are crap. Sometimes people convert, but most of us usually subscribe to the “one true browser” club of one kind or another. And I have to say that Firefox, Flock, Opera, Safari and the others are all great pieces of software (except IE which gets shittier with every version). But not on low end hardware. Most of modern browsers tend to eating up to tons of your memory, and think nothing of it. So here are some browsers designed for fast action, and minimal operating footprint. These are perfect for your old decrepit little computer that you have raised from the dead using some lightweight linux distro.
