And the developers of Opera decided to discontinue developing their own
engine which leaves even fewer renderers. On the other hand, WebKit has
been forked by Google for new Chrome browsers. This might (in the
future) cause two different WebKit-like rendering engines to exist.

I am also still looking for a "smaller" browser. Iceweasel is the most
memory-intensive application apart from VirtualBox, 7-Zip and games I am
usually running. However, I also like (and need) the extensibility of
Iceweasel: I would not consider a browser useful unless you can disable
JavaScript by default enabling it only temporarily like with "NoScript".
