Is there a Light-weight linux distro that includes a light-weight browser ?

Hi
I have an old acer aspire which is currently running Fedora 23. However the system resources on this machine are relatively limited - I have about 2.5 G of RAM available and a very limited Intel Atom 230 1.6G cpu - and running a full blown browser like Firefox or Google Chrome completely suffocates the system.
I have been unable to find a light-weight browser that works and each fedora upgrade seems to use more resources, so I have decided to install a more light-weight linux, but one which ideally comes with a light weight browser.
Does anyone know if there is a light-weight linux distro which includes a light-weight browser, or a working light-weight browser can easily be installed ?
My initial instinct is to go for one of the distros based on ubuntu - Linux Lite, Lubuntu, LXLE, Ubuntu MATE - but it is unclear whether a working light-weight browser comes with or can be installed on these.
