Also, what kind of web pages are you browsing, Van, and are you using a proper plugin such as uBO to filter ads and other junk that can use an incredible amount of resources? Ad-blockers can really help with lower end machines. IMHO, the sad fact is that there are not many feasible options for general purpose web browsers other than Firefox and Chromium, if you need to safely browse the web and enjoy all the modern goodies. Mozilla and Google spend millions to develop these things, and even they can't make them secure or bug-free. What chance do you think some smaller projects stand in this game of keeping up with the complex world of modern web?
