Firefox Nightly

But Nightly isn't really a lightweight browser.

Nothing is lightweight if you're using a Thinkpad from 2005

If you want the modern web, as in a full featured browser, then there is no such thing as a lightweight browser.
The "bloat" of browsers today are not really the browsers faults. They need to be that heavy to support all the shit the web is forced to do nowadays.

Of course you can use a real lightweight browser. Just don't expect it to be useful.

How do you read a youtube video in html by changing the url, I forgot, I kinda remember you have to put a 'm' somwhere but that's all
I really like FF's start page with a mosaic of prefered sites
How can I get something like this in chrome? I mean a mosaic of sites I hotkeyed

You can write your own web browser if you wanted in common lisp easily or even better with Guile scheme and just have it compile to C.
Just make sure you use a sandbox like firejail, mbox or sandboxie if on windows to avoid getting pwned by malware. Also, make sure to open a second instance with it's own sandbox if doing something like banking with it so malware can't grab other tabs.
It's really not difficult to make a toy browser just for your own use, or compile FF and rip out half the bullshit.
