Ask Slashdot: Best Small-Footprint Modern Browser?

Posted by timothy on from the treading-lightly-on-the-silicon dept.

Annirak writes "I've recently started a paid internship at a company which is expanding faster than their IT department can supply new hardware. As a consequence, I've been issued a P4 2.4GHz with 512MB of RAM. Currently, I am using Firefox 4, but I find that it eats up far too much of my limited RAM. I'd rather not give up some of the more modern UI features that are offered by the current versions of Firefox and Chrome, but I need a smaller footprint. What other browsers are out there which could help me conserve resources?"

    I use Opera 11 with Windows 2000 on my P3 with 256 MB of RAM and it works quite well.
