Please Chromium, not Chrome. It's still resource-intensive, though, as
is Firefox (which i currently use because of its plugins - yes i have
few, not a hundred).
There are alternatives: Midori, Dilo, etc, etc, etc.

As for mail clients, both Thunderbird and Claws chomp a minimum of
500MiB and are sluggish (but i only tested on Windows). Mutt is on my
todo-stack, as is xmonad.

This means that running a browser and a mail client requires over 1GiB
easy, which to me is absurd.

In sum: please, lightweight stuff (in line with XFCE).

My 2¢,
Nuno
