So the other day I was looking for a ultra light weight browser. Midori was the first option as per internet. But this was the RAM usage of it.

RAM USAGE

though midori took only around 100MB, the webkitwebprocess ,which is being run only when I use midori, takes almost 1.2 GB of ram. what is this process ? And is there a way to run midori without this ? Also suggest some 'real' lightweight browsers unlike this.

  • Please do not add images or image links as far as possible. Better copy the output of your RAM usage using code formatting. See -> editing help Commented Jan 15, 2022 at 10:14

WebKitWebProcess is part of the Webkit (or possibly WebkitGTK for you as you are using Gnome) set, used for rendering homepages.

It is after all the websites that are so overloaded that the browser requires such loads - the browser may be as lightweight as you want, if the website is this resource-demanding, there is no chance. If you want to reduce this, use ad- and scriptblockers, deny autoplaying videos, etc.

Websites are annoyingly bloated these days.
