Looking for a browser: light, good tab management, resizable fonts

I have an Android stick I use on a 27" screen as a silent/low power computer when all I need is some quick browsing or writing. Opera is my favourite browser for tablets and phones, but it doesn't offer a way to resize fonts, which is a big problem when it assumes it's running on a tablet and blows everything up to such a size every character takes ten times the screen area it should.

Since this is almost-desktop use, it follows that the browser needs to handle tabs well, and absolutely must have an option for opening them in the background.

And I'd like it to be fairly lightweight, as it needs to run on a dualcore CPU that isn't exactly top-of-the-range, though it does at least have 1GB of RAM so it doesn't constantly hunger for memory.

Any ideas?
 
I'm trying UC browser HD as I write. I don't see a way to resize the fonts as desired. I disabled the "intelligent text zoom" feature, but all it did was reduce the font size from humongo-absurd to merely gigantic.
 
Lightning Browser is excellent. Under 1mb, font size in the settings and swipe from the left or right edge of the screen to access tabs and history.
