Light wheight substitute for Firefox

**lorjack** · 05-09-2009, 09:12 PM

I got an old laptop that I'm using and i want to replace Firefox with another browser that doesn't use as much resources. I really like Firefox and use it on all my other computers, but for the laptop it takes to much memory.

System Specs:

Intel Pentium II
6 GB Hard Drive
168 MB RAM
Windows 2K Pro

I welcome any suggestions

See the thread below this one about K-Meleon - it's very lightweight too, but powerful.
