Well, it’s a Lenovo Ideapad S145 with an Intel Celeron and 4GB of RAM. I’m writing this on it. I want it to be slightly faster at browsing the internet. I use Chrome, I know that’s awful xD

Like others have said, more RAM would help. 4GB is the absolute bare minimum for a usable desktop.
A scan for any malware might not be a bad idea, especially if you’re running Windows. I would also examine whether you actually need any browser extensions you have installed. I’d also check and disable anything running in the background that you don’t actually need.
Wiping the drive and reinstalling Windows may also help, so would dumping Windows for a lighter weight Linux distro. Linux tends to be more RAM friendly.
You might also want to check how much free space you have on your drive. SSDs tend to get slower the more full they get. Ideally you want to keep under 70% full.
If your laptop has a HDD, replace it with an SSD. That upgrade would give you the single greatest performance increase, however SSDs have been standard for some time.
