Any recs for a light browser, meaning low memory usage, cpu/disk usage ? Realize a lot of variable factors including the site visited. Just curious on other experiences.
I am running Windows Insider 16257 on a laptop with 4GB, i3 Intel processor. Use Edge as primary browser which (depending on site visited) is using from 300 to 577mb. Performance/speed not bad, but always searching for the best.
Of course, don't want to compromise security for speed.

Try Firefox. The newest version is supposed to have a quite good / low memory usage.
Chrome without any addons is quite light. You want one that doesnt have the per tab process as it'l make it lighter.
K-Meleon would be mine top choice, but there is also Slimjet.
Browsers blocking trackers by default should be fast as well, like Epic or Brave.
When you block scripts, it will lightened up the experience, though it might be annoying at first.
