Simplest web browser? - Hardware & Software

I recently got my old laptop access to the great and vast interwebz. Let me give you an idea of how old it is. I had to get a Ethernet to usb converter. So yeah it has 97MB of RAM and some rubbish processor...but it's enough to browse the web in bed and do homework (and other stuff :q:) Anyhow...I was wondering what is a good stripped down web browser that will maybe give it a bit of performance boost

well what windows is it running

Windows 2000 It does have IE 5 but I was just wondering if there is something a bit faster

Opera maybe?

Links

Opera would be the best choice.

Alright I'll give Opera a go

Mosaic

[QUOTE=Protocol7;15980704]well what windows is it running[/QUOTE] Did this sound ridiculous to anyone else? Just the way he phrased it... Also, [url=http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.html]Lynx[/url] is tiny.

Google chrome

[QUOTE=Derp_Alt;15981393]Mosaic[/QUOTE] Agreed.

[QUOTE=YWNJack;15981521]Google chrome[/QUOTE] Doesn't run on 2000

Put a simple Linux distro on it if you want it running as good as possible.

Download the source and imagine the page in your head.

k-meleon. You can remove most of the DLLs it comes with without affecting stability. I use a striped down version of the browser, and it takes up like 600 Kb space. It's about as fast as firefox 3, but not quite as pretty.

Lynx.

ie5

Google Chrome is very simple.

Links is very nice and fast, but way too simple. It looks like this when you run it: [IMG]http://filebox.me/files/kzhc9986u_facepunch.PNG[/IMG] Chrome doesn't work on 2000 from what I've heard, and is designed for more powerful systems. If you want one that renders everything like images and stuff, I guess Opera would be a good choice. But I suggest looking at and trying everyone else's suggestions.

Download a visual basic created one :)

[QUOTE=InsanePyro;15985251]My ethernet converter doesn't have linux drivers[/QUOTE] Use ndiswrapper

[QUOTE=lemonlimecom;15990986]Download a visual basic created one :)[/QUOTE] That's basically IE.
