I have a few years old, weak laptop, don't have specs right now, but it pretty slow.

I want to use it as a Linux laptop for stuff not heavier than internet browsing. What distro would be best to use that has lowest performance impact, but is secure?

Would Alpine be best for this?

No matter what distro you put on it, you have to worry about browser weight. Modern websites are heavy with crap, and even a decent machine will start to bog down after some years, regardless of the distro.
