low resource web browser

Name: Anonymous 2011-11-21 0:37

are there any web browsers out there with full support for javascript, and can render html normally? I wouldn't need anything like flash or java applets, but full support for fancy javascript would be nice for getting through fancy web sites and such. If one doesn't exist, I think I might try to make one, and shoot for 5 - 15MB of ram usage.

JS actually takes up the bulk of the bloat.

It is automatic memory management which means it MUST use some sort of garbage collection. You can still keep memory usage sane by implementing exponential collection strategy: start off with a small limit like 1MB. Once memory usage hits 1MB, run GC. You should have free space left over. If you don't, then double the limit to 2MB and allocate. Keep going until 4MB gets filled up, then run GC. If memory usage drops below 1/4 the current limit after any GC run then shrink (release memory back to OS).
