Some notes:
Lubuntu is Ubuntu and free software, so, is not JUST for linux geeks,
is for all "human beings".
Lubuntu will be a light OS, so, no big resources. The main goal of
Lubuntu is to bring Ubuntu to old PCs (here on Colombia many people
(rural zones) use Pentium II + 256 of RAM + 10 GB DD +
Frak. My mistake, they made a release six months ago.
Dillo, while promising, looks like something to be referred to the paper
cuts crew as the package in our repos is not up to speed. When my
mother's system was running openSUSE 11.1, it did not have a current
Dillo either.

I thought Dillo was abandoned as it has not seen active development in
over a year?

Since memory may be an issue on certain machines, I'd suggest maybe Dillo, but
due to the lack of support for multiple things (i.e scripts) I won't.
Has anyone tested Chromium on such a machine yet to see how well it runs?
John.

For memory, 256MB is the target, maybe lower if we can. 128Mb should be
possible but for limited

Just a remember before I answer to all the replies : the goal is not to
determine the best browser for everyone and for all cases. This is for
standard Ubuntu version :) The goal is to determine the best browser for
the Lubuntu scope :
- Old hardware
- Possible small screen resolution
- Easy to use

Hello, i'm matteo an italian user.
For me the best browser for lubuntu is Chromium because is light, very fast,
well-know and have extension.
For me firefox is too fat.

i've been using Opera, Firefox and Chrome in lxde and xfce environments

I've recently tried Chromium, Chrome, Opera and Kazekhaze - none work as

Based on browser market share and popularity, other than IE and Safari,
Firefox and Chrome are the winners. So I would suggest to keep one of these
two and do not try to pick an exotic one, which is used by a very limited
number of people.
Firefox is mature and stable, would be my primary option f
