I run some old machines too with xfce, will try MATE too. :) While normal sites are usable when uBlock Origin takes care of filtering out most crap, more "active" sites (heavy use of JS/CSS) become really sluggy, though and turn otherwise silent machines into noisy monsters because their fans will run at full throttle.
