I've been trying a browser called NetSurf lately - it's just 16MB on Windows.
Obviously it can't do everything Firefox & Chrome can - it doesn't even support CSS gradients, and has the worst font antialiasing I've seen in a while - but it's fast and lightweight. Apparently the minimum requirements are a 30Mhz processor and 16 Megabytes of RAM - it was originally designed for PDAs and set-top boxes.

Its lack of modern JavaScript support also makes it good at getting around news website paywalls, if you're so inclined.

- SyneRyder 6y agoBwahaha! Sorry to complicate your work life :) Say, while I have your attention, have you considered mirroring your site on Gopher? These text-mode Gopher browsers are superfast, with none of those "PNGs" and "JPGs" that slow everything down. 2020 should be the year of Port 70 on the Desktop. (Just kidding... mostly. I may have opened a Gopher account at SDF.org during my quarantine....)
