lightweight browsers?

It's if you left it on for 2 years. There's memory leak.

For me its more like 2 hours...

Same here, Chrome just seems to lag for me while I have absolutely no problem with Firefox.

Don't get Scroogled, use IE.

Opera 15 & Opera Next < Opera 12, RIP PRESTO ENGINE.

If you want the burning fox or firefox, you should try nightly build - http://nightly.mozilla.org

Presto engine is the BEST engine for caching, saving a lot of memory.

Opera 12 is still available for download - http://www.opera.com/download/guide/?os=windows&ver=12.16&local=y

I use Midori with Fluxbox on a 32 MB VPS.. seems to be using a bit of the swap but still pretty good I think.

 free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:            32         29          2          0          0         14
-/+ buffers/cache:         15         16
Swap:           32         11         20

What are you using to connect? VNC? or NX?

I use midori on any linux OS I use (including on my Raspberry Pi) but I recommend iceweasel for clients when they want to install a desktop on their VPS, it'll run on 96MB of RAM but I never bothered checking the actual usage before.

Hello everyone,


I'm working on replacing our "Desktop OS" templates but I'm not sure what browser to be shipping with it.


My usual go-to is Chrome but it can bloat on RAM pretty quick.


Is there any lightweight (RAM wise) browsers that anyone can recommend?


Francsico

Lynx.... = )

Xombrero (https://opensource.conformal.com/wiki/xombrero) is one lightweight browser, but it is mainly targeted for power users who like vim-style bindings.
