Which browser uses the least amount of RAM? I don't care about speed.

any of the old shit like firefox esr or palemoon. librewolf is a good lightweight modern browser.

I am pretty surprised chrome uses less than firefox nowadays on my puter

If you need all the browser features, just keep using Firefox/ungoogled chromium (or the associated forks, like librewolf or helium). Otherwise, if you need most sites to work, qutebrowser, badwolf, surf, etc. If you don't care about correctness, palemoon, basilisk, etc. If you don't need JavaScript, netsurf/dillo. If you don't need images or CSS, you can use lynx.

browsers -> stripped down existing browsers -> lightweight alternative browsers -> browsers without interactivity -> text only browsers

For me, qutebrowser is the sweet spot, as websites will almost always display correctly. Palemoon is nice, but it often gets formatting incorrect. And on my worst computers, dillo works very well.

Is not a bad choice, but unfortunately in the age of cloudflare and JS, it's often unsuccessful at this task. How is it that I can browse (to an extent) github, but not linuxquestions.org from a text browser?

Pretty sure Lynx is lightweight. I haven't looked at the numbers though.

Because Firefox doesn't periodically unload unused tabs to release the memory. It still retains the original behavior of sucking up all the memory dry since Netscape.

Does anyone know a good browser that supports firefox add-ons?

I want to switch but can't live without tridactyl.

Firefox was the perfect browser back in the 3.6 days. 50mb memory usage when 512mb was becoming poverty tier
