I do not allow javashit in my browser. That's exactly the reason why it is  
always smooth, low mem usage and relatively secure.

High five for the dad joke!

Do that or just use Lynx/Links/Elinks. No graphics, no problem!

Thanks Andy. I used to be able to uncheck this in firefox and when i 
did, there would be a new button to load images. I think seamonkey still 
works this way but it's not in the repo.

Thanks for responding to my post. These add-ons are not in the repo, I 
guess they are closed source

If you open a lot of tabs you can use an add-ons that suspend unused tabs  
such as these ones which can significantly reduce memory consumption:

To turn off images -
about:config
search for "permissions.default.image"
default integer value is 1. Change it according to these preferences:
1 – allows all images to load
2 – blocks all images
3 – allows only images from the same site to load and blocks  
third-party-images

Hi Everyone

I like abrowser but I often have several GB in memory.

What do you do to reduce the load? It doesn't seem to have the option to 
not load images automatically. That helped many years ago.
