Need a non-resource hungry browser

[lahratla]

I have a 667MHz Cyrix III PC with 256MB RAM using WinXP+SP2 and current using Maxthon 1.1 for my 56KBps dial-up internet browing. The browser hangg very often, especially when multi-tasking or opening more than 4-5 tabs. So, I need a browser that does not need many memories and that supports tab browsing and resume function. It shoudl be small. Please help.

Try out Avant Browser www.avantbrowser.com/
it may solve your problem

But is avant browser as safe as Firefox ?

try opera dude. and reduce the memory on disk and cache in the preferences.
i suppose opera gives the best possible speeds on dial up.

opera is the best u can disable images for text only performance Low on resouces and fast really fast even on a slow conn. U should upgrade ur PC nevertheless.

For windows, Opera and K-Meleon are some great options. Also Firefox 1.5 promises to be faster, try it when it is released.
