Have you considered using another browser? Staying up to date isn't just about the convenience of web devs, but about your security.

[Disclosure: I work in this area, but I'd much rather someone be using a patched browser than an unpatched version of our browser.]

Yes, I have five browsers installed, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Tor and none is getting any more updates.

The latest browser I can think of that should still support your OS and still gets updates (for a few more months at least) is the extended support release of Firefox 45: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/ While it may not support the latest HTML5 features, you'll still be patched against security vulnerabilities.

Alternatively, you could install Windows 10 using bootcamp according to the bottom post of this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7171259?tstart=0 Windows 10 works pretty decent on low RAM devices, and you'll be able to run all the latest browsers and software.
