    Which browser is currently your lightest option without sacrificing too much online content?
    I'm currently using CM browser. I gave up on chrome as its too heavy. I want to experiment with a non ram hogging browser. I think CM is doing the job for me so far. Anything better out there?

    Might aswell bump this instead of making a new one.
    I've started using Ghostery. It's... good. I mean it's fast enough since it blocks a lot of stuff from loading (at least I think that's how it works), like trackers, etc. Noticed it's well faster than Chrome or the default one on the HTC One M8.. Is there any alternatives. Or would I just have to root the phone and get adblock?

    There was a security flaw highlighted last September with the stock android browser in any pre kitkat version of android. This also effects some browsers like cm browser which use it as its base. So if you're on android 4.3 or earlier might be best to try and stick to chrome or Firefox unless you know your not effected
