Browser performance

Currently, I use LineageOS 16.0 on Sony Xperia XA2 Dual SIM (H4113) as my daily driver for private and business use. As there are some issues with the update to 17.1 I gave SailfishOS another try. And, compared to last time I'm quite impressed. It's way more functional than LineageOS, especially when it comes to CardDAV-/CalDAV-support or just the possibility to turn off the second SIM with one touch.

There is just one significant issue: The standard web browser. It just seems to be outdated. There is nearly no website which does not cause trouble, even very simple ones, for example the one from Austrian Broadcasting Company. Just take a look: https://news.orf.at/.

Did I miss something? Are there easy-going possibilities to get the browser up to date? If there is a chance to get it working well, I would most probably change my OS to Sailfish.
