If you update it, it's not the same that it once was, so it can perform
worse, or better. It can use more or less resources. I guess the trend
in the past decade has been to perform worse and use more memory, even
letting alone the issue that sites themselves sometimes use excessive JS
frameworks that are heavy and do silly things like requiring 3D
acceleration, which is a recipe for performance disaster unless you're
on, I don't know, something comparable to a gaming rig? Or something
that at least is not going to do any software emulation of 3D features?


A significant change was when Microsoft dropped IE6 support. That was
followed by a boom in web incompatibility. Not because a lot of people
were using IE6, but because a lot more browsers benefited from sites and
frameworks still being IE6-compatible.
