People have the misconception that Chrome is a light browser. The answer is yes.. and no. It depends what you're running. 1 tab with a news site on = minimal memory usage, but more tabs and flash is when it gets really heavy. It's because chrome puts each tab as a separate process as if to recover them better if they crash.

As for lightweight browser, you can try Pale Moon. Not sure how dev has been, but when I used it on my older desktop it was really good. It's a streamlined version of Firefox basically.
