My favorite browser?

Ability to set ceiling for memory usage and bandwidth per tab. It has traditional boxy 1990's style design, a traditional File, Edit, etc., none of this hamburger menu crap. It suspends or kills background tabs.

An empty browser uses 1MB of memory or less. A full browser never uses more than 256MB of memory.

In addition to JavaScript, it supports a compiled language out of the box, like Java, but open source, secure, and non-bloated.

It has "skinny goggles" which let you trim the fat from webpages, removing unnecessary CPU, bandwidth and memory usage while keeping the site readable.

Audio and video content is blocked in each tab until you specifically allow it.
