Hi, I'm the author of that blog post!

I actually used Firefox at the time of this post but I now use Librewolf. Modern day web browsing actually isn't as demanding as you think it is: I've been able to happily have Firefox open with Discord in it and FreeTube (an electron app for watching YouTube) on a Pentium T4300 with 4GB of RAM.

It was slow but it worked perfectly fine, you just have to have patience to use older hardware. Hope this clears that up :)

(As an aside, my main PC now uses KDE instead of i3wm!)



Thanks for replying!
