You know, I've never had good luck with using steady-state and used it off-and-on but gave up as I like fully control to goof up my system ... mwaa-hahahahaa
All kidding aside:
Give Mypal a try (since you like FF) and 360V11 Arctic Foxie as you'll be impressed as you use chrome already. Slimjet is quite outdated for XP now.
Have fun :)
The main feature of steadystate that I used is the ability to lock down the boot drive (and I think it can do other drives as well). So basically the boot drive is locked in its state and then I use a secondary partition to keep all the portable stuff which I run at will. :)
I looked into some of these but their ties to nation states turned me off when I first investigated them. I've noticed a lot of sites just refuse xp level browsers now and I'm having to bounce back and forth with my win7 system more and more which is a pain.
I don't know if it's what you're looking for but if youre only looking to view simple sites it hardly gets as portable as dillo/d+:
sourceforge.net (the win32 version of dillo)
sourceforge.net (d+, a slightly different fork)
The one-binary portable forms of these take up slightly less than a floppy disk's worth of space (sourceforge.net --this one) and I have confirmed personally it runs in systems as low as NT4.0 with as little as 32MB of RAM total, supposedly it goes down to NT3.51 though.
If you want a slightly more capable and yet small browser you can look into Netsurf as well, I believe there should be a windows fork that ive confirmed to work on XP. These two come in extremely handy on low resource systems when a simple query would get delayed eons by the overhead of the browser starting.
