I need to use a browser via ssh -X (that is, X rendering is allowed via ssh), but the browser should be as lightweight as possible, since the connection is not very fast then I need to minimize the amount of data exchanged because of the GUI.
Do you know any such browser?
To make an example with editors, if I try to use an editor like kate via ssh -X with a normal (i.e. not super-fast) connection then it is extremely slow, but if I use the graphical version of emacs instead, then it becomes very good, perhaps because it doesn't need to exchange data about the GUI interface via ssh all the time (I think with emacs all the data about the GUI are downloaded just at the beginning).
What browser would you suggest for this purpose? I know there are terminal-based browsers, like links2 but I would need JavaScript support, so I cannot use it.
