Did you want an ultra light browser? This occupies 2 KBs ...

Did you think Chrome is the lightest web browser? Jua! With this tiny script, which uses the libwebkit-gtk library and weighs only 2 KBs, you will be able to browse the internet while consuming a minimum of memory and having a quite remarkable web experience, since the script uses the Webkit engine (in which Midori, Safari, Epiphany, etc. are also based), one of which got 100% Acid3 compatibility and has very good support for the new HTML5.

Create a file with your favorite text editor. Paste the content below and save the file with the name "minibrowser.py".

#! / usr / bin / env python
importsys
import gtk
import webkit
DEFAULT_URL = 'http://www.google.com' # Change this as you Wish
class SimpleBrowser: # needs GTK, Python, Webkit-GTK
    def __init __ (self):
        self.window = gtk.Window (gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
        self.window.set_position (gtk.WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS)
        self.window.connect ('delete_event', self.close_application)
        self.window.set_default_size (350, 20)
        vbox = gtk.VBox (spacing = 5)
        vbox.set_border_width (5)
        self.txt_url = gtk.Entry ()
        self.txt_url.connect ('activate', self._txt_url_activate)
