Amazon Silk the answer to Web Browsers that are Heavy (Weights)

I hate almost all the web browsers in current use except light weight Linux derivatives.

Linux derivatives are light on your computer and has utilities to block unnecessary cookies and erase the memory at the end of a web session.

All the web browsers have become bulky over the years and have left enough security holes.

I will list few of the Linux browsers, I like most before talking about the game-changer Amazon-Silk.

I hope it will not become bulky in time but have enough security patches since lot of young kids are going to use it on daily basis.

8. Android WebKit

10. BlackBerry WebKit

12. Nokia WebKit

13. Phantom

14. MicroB-Nokia

15. Firefox   Gecko in MeeGo

Note Gecko  is a FireFox Light derivative that comes from Linux origin, from good old days of Linux and unfortunately IE and FireFox have to do, quite a lot of work to get to Mobile Industry using them as default.

IE and FireFox are gorilla derivative of internet.

I believe Linux distributions should all have some alternative Lightweight web browsers included in their distributions.

It is interesting that SwiftLinux which has done a good job of it in its recent version. 

Actully the credit should go to AntiX.

These light weight stuff can be used in Mobile and Cloud Computing and now that Amzon has shown the way by splitting the resources we are going to have frantic activity in this arena with mobile to lure.

Amazon’s Silk approach is admirable and it is going to be a game-changer.

I think all the web browsers have to go on a diet soon or have at least two versions.

One for mobile and cloud and the other for the desktop.
