I have an old lightweight laptop that I use for youtube videos from time to time.
Page loads take 3-10 seconds. Video decoding, once it gets going, is great due to dedicated MPEG hardware. But the site itself - well, old man gets there eventually.
Edit: already stripped overhead to the bone by running Bodhi Linux. I may try FF over Chromium in case there’s more performance to be had. But the 2GB RAM footprint is really pushing it these days.

FreeTube?
Possibly. I’ll give that shot, thanks.
