Looking for a very light web browser

So as you might know or see in the sig, I'm running a netbook, which should be primarily for browsing the internet. But let me tell you one thing. It sucks at it.

And while hardware isn't that good, I could smoothly browse the web when I first got it in Oct 2012. So portion of this problem is hardware, but a portion of it is because the latest versions of popular browsers (such as Firefox or Chrome) consume hundreds of megabytes of RAM which makes my EeePC really struggle.

So I need a light and modern browser. IE is not an option because I already tried it, and it won't update to the latest version for some reason even tho I have Windows 7. So what do you recommend me?

Athlon X2 for only 27.31$   Best part lists at different price points   Windows 1.01 running natively on an Eee PC

My rig:

Celeronator (new main rig)

CPU: Intel Celeron (duh) N2840 2.16GHz Dual Core

RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333MHz

HDD: Seagate 500GB

GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000 Series

Spoiler

Frankenhertz (ex main rig)

CPU: Intel Atom N2600 1.6GHz Dual Core

RAM: 1GB DDR3-800

HDD: HGST 320GB

GPU: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3600

138 is a good number.
