I dont have an N9 but thinking about getting a cheap used one
"zum rumbasteln"

thanks
Browsing on N9 is a PITA as a lot certificates are old and deprecated. Furthermore the default browser does not support newer TLS. So a lot of sites will not work (@halftux made some improvements 'zum rumbasteln', so it may be possible).
TBH I used N9 in OpenMode and with stock browser as long as possible but then went sailing...
So maybe Opera may work better (another ddiscussion here on TMO ongoing).

WhatsApp impossible
Telegram may work in a CLI version (@halftux)
youtube I do not know, but there was also some discussion ongoing (but it might be related to N900). I used stock browser at my time
