Building a modern browser for a weak machine

Question

Chromium

Community!

Can you please tell me if there are Chromium / Firefox / 'whatever open source' builds in nature that are optimized to run on a weak (~ 768MHz) machine with a small amount of memory (up to 128MB)?

The fact is that on such a machine, a slightly suboptimized linux with LXDE as a desktop environment works with acceptable performance, but the browser (even with flash disabled) slows down and swaps mercilessly. JS cannot be disabled (although even with NoScript FF slows down - maybe it's page rendering). I tried the extensions that optimize the settings, those that I tried did not help.

I think the next logical step is a special light-reassembly. Make the page render slower, but don't swap the browser!

Do you already have something or do you need to start inventing the bicycle? Maybe there are some popular studies on what exactly memory and processor resources are spent on?

Answer 1

It seems to me that even in 2012 it is quite possible to dig up SDRAM memory in commercial quantities for reasonable money.
And no reassembly will solve the lack of RAM.

Answer 2

There are webkits without everything - Uzbl/Midori/Luakit/Surf, the first two definitely worked on Duron 800, 128 Mb.
Or Firefox 3.x.
Nobody will rewrite the rendering engine.

Answer 3

Try Opera, it's more economical.

Answer 4

Try Iceweasel, Swiftfox
