Was trying to make a Chromebook with 2GB of RAM usable. Chrome based browsers just ran out of memory and became unusable on xfce mint.
Went with lubuntu and the falkon browser and it seems to handle low memory conditions much better. The chromium based browsers would work very well for a little while but eventually pulled too much memory and everything died. Ran a YouTube playlist overnight on falkon and everything is still responsive.

Huh! I had no idea. I guess it just handles itself a bit better, and lxde might use a bit less too.
