Hi Javier-Elias,
here is a scale of web browsers:
w3m,links,dillo,epiphany,galeon,opera,firefox,mozilla
w3m is the litest,mozilla being the heaviest
but
opera is lighter than opera with flash support 
and 
opera with flash support is lighter than opera with java support
so in my mind, any browser with flash or java support is not LIGHT!
just my 2 centavos.
Cheers,
Kev
