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.
shoot for 5 - 15MB of ram usage
Why do people think that less RAM usage is a good thing? You buy RAM so you can use it. If you're not using RAM, you're reading from the disk, and your program is slow as shit. Let's say you render the visual part of the page then clear all memory. Every time the user scrolls, you read and parse the page from disk then clear the memory again. Now you have a stuttering clusterfuck of shit software killing your disk so your sacred RAM doesn't get wasted by doing something useful. Gee, why not add arbitrary sleep(1)'s to your code so you don't waste CPU cycles. Now you're a real EXPERT PROGRAMMER!!
