The equivalent iPad in 2013 when your tablet was released is the 1st iPad Air that had a slightly better screen than your Asus and a much better processor - the A7. It stopped getting OS updates in 2019 and also got a security update January of this year. The version of WebKit available in 2019 is not “ancient”. |

Apple didn't had that much advantage in CPU power them, looking at the benchmarks A7 seems to be ~30% faster that isn't "much better".
Also, iPad was way expensive than my tablet, specially in my country. It was fifty percent more expensive. 50% more expensive for 30% more performance looked really bad for that time. The screen being better in the Air also didn't matter because I choose LG G Pad 8.3 exactly because it had a 8.3 inch screen.

It is. This is at least 4 years without relevant security updates (except maybe for "extremely critical") and without improvements in Web standards.
I could get that same tablet today and get a modern browser like Chrome to run with relatively acceptable performance.
