Midrange Web Browser? (between Firefox and Dillo)

[Sean Crago]

Have you tried simpler Gecko engine based browsers? The fact that they use
it on the Nokia Internet Tablets (considerably weaker than your laptop, I'd
imagine) implies that you might have more luck trying something like
Epiphany. Not sure if that particular project is terribly succesful, but
it's a starting point. Opera, though not free, also warrants a try for the
same reason. It tends to perform quite well on older and embedded platforms.
That said, the first thing I'd try is installing FlashBlock and ad blocking
plugins on your existing Firefox install. That generally does the trick for
me, on these older machines. It's not the browser but the poorly
designed/over-designed flash ads that tend to cause the vast majority of the
problem.

Of course, there's always Lynx if the above doesn't work.
