I've used Dillo. It's amazing how snappy a browser can be. Alas, it's an impractical browser to use, as most sites require JavaScript. The real problem is websites, ever-increasing the capabilities of browsers. If that went away then the whole problem of choosing a browser would be solved. All browsers are capable of rendering vanilla HTML, and even graphics, so there's usually very little need for JavaScript. There's always the option of processing dynamic content on the backend. I heard that Google Maps originally spat out pages that were in the region of a few 10's of kb. Imagine that! We live in curious times. Engineers used to design for simplicity, now we seem to just sling more mud onto the pile. It's also curious that environmentalism is such a hot-button topic these days, yet manufacturers are pushing out stuff that makes it harder to repair.
