Okay so I found this old MacBook (I mean OLD, it even has a hot-swappable battery and an optical drive) and I have no idea if it’s even worth the effort of installing anything on it. What do you guys think I could do with it?

Edit: note that this is just from a live usb, it has 120GB storage

Oh, but now OP will be motivated to test all the lights browsers.

Back when I did that, Midori was a clear winner in terms of usability. If you want to make the browser even lighter, you’ll start bumping into some pretty significant compromises. If you don’t use modern websites, you can actually get away with something like Netsurf or even Lynx.
