Alternative Ligthweigth Browser?

(1/2) > >>

fox:
Very low on RAM (32mb, 2 of which are eaten by the onboard videocard) and not a last generation processor (intel 233mmx)

Here's the problem, I like Mozilla, but it seems that unless I double my RAM it won't do any decent speed on my win98...

I've also tested that "BrowseX" thing that apears on the links of this page, and now I'm downloading Opera to see if it's any better...

BrowseX seems to work quite nice, but it just refuses to be associated to the url protocol nor to the .htm . . .

Any suggestions (but adding RAM)

By the way... when I decide to finally install X to my text-only linux distro, I guess I will be asking the same for that platform... so...

try lynx

hmmmmmmm.... I have always used Mozilla. I have found Opera, Konqueror, IE, Netscape, to all be slower......!!!!! I got it!!! use Arachne, it is a DOS broswer that is supposedly very fast.

fox:
thanks, but I guess I'll stick with Browse-X... I like its "compactness"...

Anybody know something about that issue of not being able to associate it to .htm files??

Calum:
nope, sorry.

what i might recommend is getting a version of opera from a couple of years ago. up until recently opera was a free browser which had smallness as it's highest priority.

you should be able to find older versions of it kicking about...
