I don't get the use case for this. Are browsers really that slow?

I have an old 2013 macbook air with 16GB ram and it still surfs the net silky smooth.

I have a desktop I built back in 2015 with an i7 and 32 GB ram that I'm using right now and it's been fine for everything including Adobe products, and especially for browsing the web.

More than anything loading ads slow down my browsing experience, not the machine itself.

I wonder how close our definitions of silky smooth are. My 2015 pro w. 16gb did not surf the net silky smooth. My 2020 air with 8gb does.
