Some reason almost all modern browsers, but not Seamonkey, are bloatware whose consume all CPU time. Seamonkey is very workable for an old computer.
Only problem with Seamonkey is that it has limited number of language pack, but there is localised versions available too. An example version 2.53.15
https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/#2.53.15
Seamonkey can be installed via package management too.
sudo apt install seamonkey
An example Seamonkey´s lightness, almost 20 year laptop with Seamonkey open.
