You have to enable Safari's Developer menu, and then you can choose from
a number of different user agent strings to make Safari identify itself

I did something like that with my PB1400 running 8.6.
Its Wamcom browser doesn’t digest Wikipedia well, so I use a

YouTube is heavy on the computer, unfortunately it's as simple as
that.
You can improve the display by not using full-screen mode, and by
using a low-resolution alternative stream as pointed out by the other

Or see if you can increase the computer's RAM, and maybe install a
clean OS.
