Right now I am using chrome but it uses tons of ram. As of now i only have 8 gigs of ram, and because i like to keep meany tabs open at once it uses a crap ton of ram. Is there a lightweight somewhat fast browser that is free out there?

Never use IE even if it has improved. Try Midori or Maxthon. I've used both, and they are better. Sucks that the app support is pretty limited.

Apparently everyone has forgotten about Firefox. Weird.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

I'm not going to lie, I've never been able to even get to google without midori crashing on me, I vote maxthon or mxnitro. MXNitro is a super lightweight fast version or Maxthon, but it's in beta so there's still bugs and Maxthon occasionally throws up some graphical glitches, but hey, they're still better than a lot of other things out there

 

To the person above who said firefox, every iteration is freakishly broken at the moment

I am good at computer

I use opera myself, occupies about one third of the ram chrome uses.
