Load it up with whatever bloat causes every browser other than Opera to struggle at every moment with scrolling a page. Which is absolutely the case on my 4 year old laptop. For whatever reason, Opera handles this like a dream, while Firefox and Chrome cannot, though I frequently go back and try them again.

For whatever reason, Opera handles this like a dream, while Firefox and Chrome cannot, though I frequently go back and try them again. Opera and Chrome use the same rendering engine now. Why would Opera work better than Chrome? The second question is what type of computer is it? I have an old Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz laptop/4GB RAM (circa 2009) that I've repurposed as a Plex Server. After installing an ad blocker and getting rid of unnecessary services, I don't notice a real world difference between that and my usual laptop - a Core I7 2.66Ghz - except for the difference between an SSD and a 5400rpm hard drive. Web browsing is just not that processor intensive - a four year old A6x iPad can browse the modern web well.
- psyc 10y agoCool, guy, I must be imagining the whole thing. Every day.
- scarface74 10y agoNot saying you are imagining it, but a four year old computer that isn't infested with crapware should be able to run most mainstream sites.
