Awesome descendant of Arora with pretty new UI! Light & fast like fly, maybe speeddial better than zlink.

It can't restore the last session, import bookmarks or choose the download location. It's basic functionality might be justified if it provided faster browsing in old hardware but it is not particularly light on system resources. The zBrowser executable takes a lot longer to load than iexplore and it can require 288 Mb of memory before you even start browsing. Pages do not load faster in zBrowser compared to Internet Explorer. I found that while writing a comment for a Youtube video with the video paused zBrowsers memory usage rocketed to 370 Mb and CPU usage was 100% making the program unresponsive and difficult to shut down with the Task Manager. This occured while testing it on my old laptop.
QtWeb browser is a far more advanced open source browser based on the Qt framework and Webkit which really does offer performance gains on old hardware.
