need a fast alternative browser

>>57816449
surf.suckless.org
the only thing faster is lynx

lynx, links, elinks, you can also use curl to download the web page and view it with vim.

>>57816482
The navigation make me sick.
links is better.

>>57816449
Dunno which is faster than Chormium, but don't take Firefox or Firefox based browser.

it's literally ctrl + vim keybindings though. or you can right-click and go back/forward/refresh with a context menu. if you want be cool and use minimalist browsers, you have to read the man page, and it's really not that big. also it has built-in custom CSS support which you can enable in the source. very fast load time and light footprint. combine with surfraw for maximum goodness.

I forgot to add, there is one future that i need in a browser, I just cant let go of tabbed browsing.

>>57816569
Thanks for convincing me anon, I'll re pick it up again.

>>57816585
i use fluxbox which can tab windows together so i get a "tabbed" browsing experience in surf, or a tabbed terminal experience in xterm, tabbed document editing in openoffice, or of course combine any arbitrary windows into a single tabbed window. if you are running old hardware, you really should look into it.

netsurf has a gui and tabs, very light

>>57816449
Instead of searching for the perfect browser, make sure you prevent websites from trying to load and run all that useless shit which actually slows them down.

>>57816756
this, actually. blocking js can really speed up your shit. many sites load tracking and advertising scripts from as many as 10-15 different domains. sometimes it can get around cheaply made paywalls too.

>thinking a browser would make a negligible difference

Why are you idiots so deluded? Can't you think for yourselves just for a second? You're viewing the same content, so why would your browser matter?
The only way to make a difference would be using something like Lynx and only browse text mode.

>>57817064
>You're viewing the same content, so why would your browser matter?
Because browsers do a fuckton more than just show static webpages.

>>57817064
lightweight browsers lack components that "full-featured" browsers have (history, extensions, botnets) and therefore start faster, and have a smaller base memory footprint. however, yes, having several instances/tabs of content-heavy websites will use a lot of memory even in a "lightweight" browser, but even if it's a difference between 1.5 GB of memory use and 2 GB of memory use, that can make a lot of difference on old hardware. still, switching to a lightweight browser might not be enough if you don't change your other browsing habits (for example watching youtube/streaming video through a standalone player through youtube-dl instead of relying on inefficient HTML5/flash playback)

>surf
So just for the hell of it I tried surf but the script file shuts down as soon as I open it, apparently its a linux script file. I do have Git bash but that doesn't seem to be helping.

>>57817969
Well, obviously?

>watching youtube/streaming video through a standalone player through youtube-dl instead of relying on inefficient HTML5/flash playback

Being honest everyone should do that anyway. In fact, I don't know why they don't.

I never liked how people want to consider the web browser to be its own mini-OS.

>>57818209
You either need to copy the url of the video every time or integrate an "open with" option into the browser.
Both are extra steps people are too lazy to do.

MS Edge is the fastest one I have tried

>>57818225
Is there an addon that makes youtube links with /watch?v= in them open with another program, like mpv or something? Because you're right; I'm lazy and it would be sweet if I could make everything from the youtube search page do that on its own.

>>57816449
A really good way to make your browsing faster is to install linux. You didn't mention your os so I though to throw it out there

>>57816559
Redo it with Edge

>>57816449
install noscript or uBlock whatever browser you use
noscript is the best way of making browsing faster on old PCs

>>57816449
Sounds like you need K-Meleon.

>>57818225
i have it down to right-click, copy link location, super+M to run

mpv `xsel -b`

, lazy enough for me

>>57816449
depends on how well you need to support "modern" websites

this VM i threw together just now for a different thread is somewhat relevant

>>57816718
this

>>57816449
Edge.not joking.just try it.

You can't even save images.

>>57821336
if you want to save images, what's wrong with wget?
