Recommend a lightweight browser for Linux

[Red Squirrel]

I have an alarm display page that runs in a X11 session which I open from a Raspberry PI. Currently it uses Firefox, but when I updated the server that it runs off of, it updated Firefox, and each new version of Firefox is slower than the last, now this one is so slow that the javascript is not even running right to update the alarm display, and half the time it just goes as "not responding". I don't want to screw around with trying to roll back a single package I rather just use a different browser. I can't use the browser that's built in the RPI OS, as that one shuts off on it's own after it's left idle for a while.

Looking for a recommendation for a lightweight browser that will either run on the PI, or in CentOS so I can just use it as an X session on the Pi. There does not appear to be Firefox for the PI as that was what I originally was going to do. It's probably too resource intensive to run on that anyway. Need something lighter.

A lightweight browser is easy. A lightweight browser with JavaScript support is harder. Links apparently used to support it but doesn't anymore. Maybe ELinks? Probably no images with that one.

Here's a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_lightweight_web_browsers

Thanks, I'll check those out and see which ones have a package in the repository. Aiming for something I can just install straight on the Pi but the X11 session was working ok too. For now I'm just using the browser that's part of the Pi but it times out after a while. I eventually want this on a display that is only accessible through VNC so I don't want to keep having to mess with it.

I've used midori and qupzilla. Both work ok, but I've used neither for extended periods.

Forgot about Midori, it was in the RPI repo so was able to install it with apt-get. That should do the job.
