Modern Browsers can use a lot of resources, especially Chromium-based. How old/new is the hardware you use?

I notice more lagged responses on an 2011 Lenovo S205 (or similar), but no problems on a laptop with more power.

When you used Chromium-based, was it 32-bit or 64-bit version?

Pretty sure it was the standard 32-bit releases since neither Google or Opera let you choose between 32 or 64bit.
And that doesn't mean they need to use that many resources. My laptop is running an A8-3500m with HD 6620G graphics and 6GB DDR3 + 160GB WD Blue drive with beatsaudio. Specifically a "HP Pavilion dv6-6c11nr Entertainment Notebook PC
Model: A6Y56UA" that I upgraded. It's good enough to handle Skyrim at the displays native resolution (1366x768) @40-50fps, 29-40fps in certain holds even with hi-res textures on the characters (that have been optimized).

So your response to my problem with Chromium based browsers is to use them anyway, just turn off hardware acceleration (which just makes things worse) and only use 360p? I'm sorry but where are you getting this logic? No offense. If IE11x can handle 720p or 1080p then Chromium oughta handle it as well on my laptops A8-3500m. But Chromium simply doesn't right now. It's not a hardware issue, it's a software issue.

Well for some reason browsers are really engaged in higher consumption, there are some things its fully work and others tends to monitor. As IE works well then you should use it instead (not a bad browser), the reason of disabling hardware acceleration or use a lower but SD is to decrease as possible the problem although not fully guaranteed ;)

Multi process browser should suppose to equally share the amount of resource usage to prevent crashes/hung.

Okie dokey.
Yeah. But shouldn't new equate to optimized? Code forward should act forward. Slimmer. Lighter. Better. Not slower and heavier.

you need a better realtime protection

I know this. But everything I've tried has ended in a laptop that no longer boots. I'll decide on a better protection after I've looked around and perhaps even done my own tests on my similarly equipped (hardware) desktop.

It won't let me update the thread fields anymore.
But I have since installed Firefox. And Tinywall.
So far so good.
