Not all software gets slower. I have an old Windows 7 laptop and the newest versions of the Chromium browser (Supermium fork, for legacy Windows compatibility) run far faster than any versions of Firefox or Internet Explorer ever did.

Rust code apps are super fast on my linux laptop from 10 years ago too.

What do you consider as "Chromium running faster"? Like loading Chromium or closing a tab? I doubt website loads faster. Statistics show that modern websites load slower on modern hardware than old websites used to their respective hardware. I don't see why it would be different on Windows 7.

Websites are software. Most websites get slower.

  Technically websites are markup. Web apps are software and their frameworks are getting faster. Adding features makes it slower and is inevitable pain of progress. Suggestion we should stop improving things is ridiculous.
