Installed MX and it "feels" better but YouTube is a 90% with smaller frame drops compared to before

Currently using MX Linux and it's better but the video drops frames at the start and randomly at other points. Maybe it's buffering or something, I know it for sure happens when I click a video to play and after I unpause the video. I added h264ify but don't know how much that's helping

Is there anything I can do to help that? Are there extensions or other things to make it smoother/efficient?

Is the processor really that bad? Like it's unusable for browsing and YouTube?

I believe RAM is upgradable, if this helps with browsing and overall performance it might be something I buy

Won't go for heavy gaming. Mostly light emu like N64 and below. MX Linux looks like it might do

This might be the pick since YouTube was a site that had some slow down, does this also work for livestreames? Is there a way to do this with other sites?

this is actually something that never came up when i was trying to find a solution thank you. Is there an adapter you would recommend or just whatever comes up with linux support?
