Have you tried Firefox Preview? I installed it on my phone and tablet a few days ago and have been very impressed with it. I can easily see it as a replacement for Chrome. You can install uBlock on it along with a few other add ons.
On another note related to this thread, I upgraded two 6+ yr old laptops with new RAM and SSDs. Each upgrade was under £100 and it has made a huge difference. I didn't want to spend more for a new laptop as none of them are used for any heavy duty games, or other CPU intensive work.
