What is the best browser to use with this device?
EDIT: In regards to best browser. Is the hardware on N9 or N950 just
not up to snuff for handling the amount of data one downloads when visiting typical websites nowadays. Or can certain browsers handle this and streamline process better. Do some browsers preload sites based on user history?

And so has the web; it is simply much more complex & demanding than it used to be.
So there's some compatibility problems which might lead to javascript breaking in weird ways.
Add to that all the trouble you get because encryption doesn't work anymore on these outdated browsers...
And yes, even a cheap Android phone nowadays has more oomph than an N9.
(And the graphical UI of a mobile phone OS needs to keep much more stuff in RAM than, say, a normal Linux desktop)

Please also find Maemish's posts about this.
Keep in mind that that Iceweasel version is just less outdated.
