I've been using qutebrowser and also
Min browser on the Mac. Both make browsing on the Mac pretty tolerable.

Rocking Firefox Quantum to see what's new. Seems lighter than Opera, so far I am happy.

Only problem I have is the dev tools. I need them every day for work, and the font really is hardly readable. I see I have to mess with userChrome.css to fix that, but well, ok.

Firefox Quantum really is great. I use the Nightly since it was recommended here.

There's also neXT-browser
https://next-browser.github.io/
An emacs-like browser made in CommonLisp, for both Macs and Linux, using maintained version of WebkitGTK and CCL/SBCL. Development is quite active as well, been following that since a long time ago. IMHO a better prospect than even qutebrowser, not taking money for features yet to be implemented (like half decent adblocker for instance).

Still happy on Quantum. I think Firefox finally nailed it again except this Mr. Robot bullshit. But I guess in th end all companies are the same.

^ it is a huge ram hog, but at least the FF i use (nightly) ram usage hasn't departed a lot from the old ESR, only around 160-200MB more /s

Firefox uses a lot less RAM than Chrome even with more processes and here I have it limited to 5 on a machine with 4 GB of RAM and I find it performs good. It uses a little bit more than before the multi process but the performance is like night and day now. Of course it is not a lightweight browser.

For me it's now firefox, cause I don't know which browser has been updated for the spectre/meltdown bugs. Although meltdown doesn't hurt my system (ryzen 7 1700 oc).

ryzen is affected (everything is unless you run MIPS, or RISC-V), AMD just rolled out firmware update i think.

AFAIK the Ryzen/EPYC is not affected by the Meltdown bug, Spectre variant 2 was near zero (and should be fixed with new microcode). Ofcourse Spectre variant 1 is a problem, just like on the Intel platform. At least my Raspberry Pi is safe for these bugs :)

I've been giving this one a try on the mac. It has promise, but right now it's painfully slow. Maybe I should try it on linux to compare. Otherwise I've been really happy with FF Quantum. Still keeping qutebrowser around, too; it seems to be getting better with each release.

^ I am still on that. I find it lighter than Chrome/Chromium but with the necessary tools for web development.
