Can anyone suggest for me an ultra tiny, ultra simple web browser for fast internet searches with low computer resource use and really high speed opening even on a system with multiple high resource programs running? see my answer for details.

I run multiple programs doing work and sometimes need to quickly do a web search to referance something or get detailed information, translations, E.T.C. my main browser is Firefox but with the customizations needed for my work it is a little slow to open so i am looking for the "notepad" version of a web browser. something that only opens a web page and maybe a simple popup blocker, nothing else. the goal is a streamlined though breed Racing web browser, not an every day work horse. can you suggest something like this to me? if you think of firefox, opera, safari and Internet Explorer as versions of Photoshop, I need the MS Paint Browser.

Google Chrome is supposed to be fast.

I suggest leaving FireFox open at all times in the background. You'll use a little more resources, but you won't have to wait for it to open every time. If your mother board can handle it extra RAM and maybe an upgraded video card could take care of a lot of your problem with little expense.
