  • There’s nothing wrong with the big browsers like Chrome, Edge and Firefox, but if you have an old PC (or single-board computer), then they can be real resource hogs. For those who have an older PC and need to preserve memory, here’s a list of the best lightweight browsers for old PCs.

    As of September 2020, it doesn't work the arrow to return to the
    previous web page visited. It is positioned on the left side, at the op
    of each tab. It is a major issue for the whole usability of the
    browser.I am using Ubuntu latest version on a HP notebook.
