All of these recommendations for Falkon, Palemoon, Seamonkey. Honestly? None of these really make a difference to me, and Falkon actually runs like shit while not really reducing resource use!
Librewolf genuinely runs perfectly for me while taking up slightly (like 10%) more ram and vastly less cpu time. And it being a fork of Firefox, I can easily use all the addons I need (or can afford) to browse the web.
With Falkon stuff barely worked, was slow, and features were missing. With Librewolf, h264ify and a Youtube video as an embed within a tab. I can watch 720p/30fps video without issue. It baffles me on why this concept even exists, when the problem that is the modern web creates is that you really can’t make a new, much less lightweight, browser or engine.
And I don’t particularly care for Ladybird.
Okay but what shitbox are you running?
Thank you for asking imaginary poster in my head. Intel Atom N2600 with 1GB of DDR3 ram. It sucks. And it is testament to me just how nonsensical lightweight web browsers are, I’m sure that it’s Antix that is making it all work. Also I wrote this post on this shitty netbook and it’s weirdly smooth happily enough.


IIRC Falkon is just using the Qt packaged version of Chromium on the backend so it’s hardly going to be lightweight anyway.
