I have an old laptop which didn’t exactly have top of the line specs when I bought it back in 2016. It does, however, run Ubuntu pretty competently (yes I know there are better distros, no I am not going to use them). It was cheap. As in it came with a Celeron in 2016 cheap, so it isn’t the speediest little guy.
All that said, a lightweight browser is the goal. I currently use Firefox which is ok but any improvement in speed is ideal. I’m not doing anything crazy with this thing so as long as I can do some basic web browsing I’m happy.
I used Midori back in the day but it wasn’t exactly…stable at the time. After that I stuck with Firefox. Still, I’m hopeful there’s something better out there. Any advice from the veterans out there is appreciated.
qutebrowser if you don’t mind vim-like keybinding.
That said, the heaviest things on the web today are those bloated sites.
