I normally use Chromium, which generally uses more memory than Firefox
because it uses a separate process for each tab. But recently I've been
trying Qupzilla, which seems nice and light and fast. It uses QtWebEngne
(the same as cutebrowser) so it is well supported and handles some sites
better than Chromium.

Or you could use IE6 with  Wine ;-)
