I have had success using NCSA Mosaic on my Quadra 700 with 36mb of RAM. It
compiled with nary a problem, and it's a good balance between the totally
text-based browsers (lynx) and the full-fledged, obese, java-enabled browsers
(navigator/communicator).  It doesn't do frames and has problems with some
pages, but overall it's fairly well done. For basic graphical web browsing with
little overhead there really isn't anything that's much better.
