Judging by chrome's battery, RAM and CPU poor utilisation, I'm in need of a new browser that doesn't suck up all resources like there is no tomorrow.

Firefox is much lighter on CPU and RAM, but GPU acceleration for video is worse than Chrome.  IE 11 is actually pretty decent.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

Internet Explorer has certainly become better recently and seeing as Chrome isn't working out for you it might be worth considering. Opera is actually pretty usable if you can get your head around it and you could also look at smaller browsers.

I found this interesting list:

Chromium and Maxthon are good and Midori may be worth a look:

There are plenty of good browsers out there, I'm sure you will find one that suits your needs. Best of luck :)

Try opera you may be amazed what it can do is actually better than mozila and chrome.

Midori actually looks pretty interesting, I'm going to give that a try.

When you make IE faster than chrome, then IE.

I may have hacked it to increase speed because it was the only browser to actually load my japanese sites unlike *cough chrome.... dies

Opera and IE11. Midori also nice.

Just did a quick test, *fox, Opera, Chrome will change the resolution timer to 1ms. IE11 and Midori didn't unless you load a flash video.

Do you know on what browser is Midori based on, or is it on its own?

Tried installing Midori, only to have its apparent lack of high dpi support to drive me potatoes.
