Mozilla Firefox, though an excellent attempt at creating a web browser

128 MB RAM (on a Pentium II that I tested).
Yes, I totally agree to it. Its not fast, but the computers have become
faster. ;-)
But still I prefer to use Firefox rather than IE or Opera or Safari not
only because its free software, but also fits perfect as a developer
friendly browser with its support to the latest technologies right from
E4X to CSS3 to a built-in XSLT processor, and SVG, and XForms and so on.
I haven't mentioned about any new feature that is bundled with it.
If you strip all of this, yes Mozilla will be lean and mean, well you
can build a lean and mean browser for yourself ;-)
