desidude Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hi friends,I hope everyone is doing well. I am using an older model Lenovo T61 thinkpad (2008). It is operating MS Windows Home 7 premium 32-bit. It has an Intel Core2 Duo CPU T8100 and 2GB Ram.I tend to have 4-5 browser windows open, each with 4-5 tabs. I am not doing any streaming, audio, video, just day to day browsing, mostly academic related.I notice that my browser tends to slow down when I have a couple of browser windows open.I am looking for a lightweight browser to use....any suggestions please?Thanks!desidude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Brown Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Although of course popular, Google Chrome is very quick and dosent contain all the bulk that other browsers do, im unsure as to what browser your currently using - but i suggest Chrome :) If your really suffering, maybe consider Midori - I have used this multiple times and have never had a problem. I hope this helps - Tobias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerowen Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Google Chrome runs loads faster on Linux than Firefox does, so I'd go with Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Account no longer active) Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 If using Firefox, enable 'Ask to Activate' for Flash. Makes a huge difference. Forgot to add: I have about 30 tabs open at present (across three windows) in Firefox. Not noticing any slow down at all on a Core 2 with 2GB RAM also.

rfirth Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Upgrade your browser to Internet Explorer 11, then compare with Chrome. Either one would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
