Nah. I have older netbooks (remember them?) and they are still more usable (with linux) than my old ipad.

Does your old Netbook have only 256MB of RAM and 500Mhz processor?

Because if so, that's enough to run 4 simultaneous instances of Linux!

How well will that work with the modern web and modern web browsers?

Great! On paper it could handle Apache and NGINX like a charm, your modern web browsers would have no trouble accessing it.

What does that have to do with running a modern web browser on a device with 256MB RAM and a single core 500Mhz processor?

Nothing. Linux isn't a web browser.

It will still work just fine with your modern web browsers though, as a server.
