On such low-end systems you should use a very lightweight browser instead of Chrome, even if this can give some limitations.
Can you recommend one? Does opera fall into this category? I hope we aren't talking about lynx. :)
No, it's a text-only browser.

Midori seems to have the best reputation. I tried also Galeon (6 years old, but still working) with good results.
Thanks, I'll test midori, epiphany, and dillo. Does anyone know if the browser cache can be disabled on any of those?
