<br>
That's an interesting one. I've not had much of a problem with
memory consumption myself but I do have a few other problems with
Firefox and Chrome and it'd be nice to explore the current
landscape.<br>
<br>
I always find when I'm looking for alternatives that I last about
5 minutes with whatever new software before I come across a
missing feature that I didn't even know I used on whatever it is
I'm looking to replace. I think for me, getting a decent-sized
checklist of feature requirements would be a bit of a job in
itself.<br>
<br>
I had a job a while ago that required a locked-down 'kiosk'-type
browser with a couple of odd requirements (i.e., touch scrolling
before touch scrolling was a thing that had trickled down into the
'stable' distros) and I think the furthest I got was with 'Midori'
which struck me as quite a well-rounded product - although there's
almost certainly going to be at least one show-stopper requirement
that rules that out for you.<br>
<br>
Let us know how you get on!<br>
<br>

I hope we are all well. I realise this could be a slightly
contentious issue, and might just start the next holy war - so
please try and keep the replies nice and steady! (if there will be
any replies, that is) :-)

I am getting a little bit fed-up with Firefox being a bit of a pig
at devouring memory - and I was thinking of trying some other
browser. I'm not after anything particularly radical - just
something a bit slimmer, but still with a pretty complete modern
feature set, to support whatever the web throws at us these days.
I only use 2-3 add-ons in Firefox, and I think I can live without
them - so add-on support is not particularly important.
<br>
<br>
I thought the task would be easy - with maybe 2-3 choices out
there on Linux - but to my surprise, even the Slackware repo's
list over a dozen alternatives (and that is saying something!) :-)
<br>
<br>
Ideally I'd like something with a significant enough community -
which will hopefully mean it will be around a while.
