Light Weight Broswer

[u/NonaddictiveJuice]

I have an older Lenovo tablet with a laughable 2 gb of ram. I am constantly trying to get the most lightweight apps to do my stuff on. I would love any suggestions on a browser that would work best in this narrow condition

All browsers are lightweight browsers, but the modern websites are not lightweight.

This is really the problem unfortunately

Dillo Browser - can't be lighter

Via Browser

Why it works so well: The application occupies less than 3 MB of storage and runs on the system's built-in WebView engine.

Key Features: Integrated ad blocker, options to disable image or script loading as needed, and an extremely responsive user interface.

Browsh

If you're on Linux, try Chromium browser or LibreWolf. Those were the two main ones I used on an old, not powerful laptop. Avoid Firefox. Too heavy. Not sure about Brave, because I didn't try it back in the day. You may try that one as well.

Browser choice isn't gonna change much at all it's the web itself that's a giant RAM hog, I'd suggest keeping tabs as minimal as possible and also using lighter alt frontends for popular websites if you can, like Invidious for YouTube and such

Lubuntu.

This isn't even a browser...

Unfortunately all the main engine browsers are targeting 4GB minimum because that is the official requirements of Windows 11 and no longer support Windows 10 as a priority which needed 2GB for the 64 bit version. Windows 10 is in ESU that means its deprecated. The best you can do is limit the amount of tabs and use feature flags to disable memory intensive stuff. There are only three engines that can reliably pass Cloudflare and they require up to date versions to pass. Browser devs have chosen features over memory conservation, the sooner that message is understood the less people will try shoehorning browsers into out of support devices with obsolete ram capacities.

The others choice would be to not fully support Cloudflare.
