So chrome just updated on my computer and it brought all the shitty changes that no one asked for, as expected by bigger developers (Like making it so backspace no longer goes back on the page).

Anyway, that combined with each update chrome gets making the browser run slower and slower on my really old laptop (funnily enough I can run photoshop cs5 fine for the most part but fucking google chrome makes it lag unbearably), I'm pretty much done. So I'm open to suggestions as for what browser to switch to (not edge/ IE, though). Anything that runs well on older hardware/ isn't bloated with unnecessary crap would be nice, as would something I can switch all my bookmarks to. I'm thinking of going back to firefox as I used to years ago.

oh and if it's relevant I'm on W10. Not of my own volition, mind, my college's wifi won't connect to W7 operating systems for some stupid reason.

Chrome runs like treacle

Firefox is pretty good for being fast as fucc
You can also import your chrome bookmarks to it quite painlessly https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-bookmarks-google-chrome
