You could use small mode, I found it to be less cancerous. Steam has been working like shit for years. Every update to the UI makes it work worse.
You can also activate hardware rendering in the Settings/Interface tab and then Low bandwidth and performance mode in the Library tab.
Consider that if you download an old version, it might have been modified to install malware along Steam and if it's good malware, you won't even notice. The only way to double check it's real is a proper hash table for the installer you're downloading from a trusted source.
Remember that Steam just dropped support for Windows 7. They'll eventually drop support for current verions of Windows, just like they stopped supporting XP years ago. This made me start pirating again from redump. You can't even migrate your license keys to another account if something happens with people you know in your current one, like online bullying, harrasment or even being targeted by scammers. Even if you've spent thousands of dollars on their platform. Gamers really are androids sucking Gaben's cock.
