More light weight. Less memory consumption, less processor usage and faster. As far as it can go.

Firefox was built on that ideology. Until it became the same monster that it was supposed to replace. The same thing is happening to chrome.

Less memory consumption is often at odds with less processor usage. For example, a browser can consume a lot less memory if it doesn't cache decoded images, etc. But then the engine needs to decode same images over and over again.
