The experience is a few years old now but I spent a year in college running Firefox on a celeron netbook with just the EFI framebuffer (anything else would crash on boot) and it was totally usable unless you opened google sheets. On my ryzen desktop that I built during the lockdown (after baking some bread heh) it’s very snappy. IME chrome (on GNU/Linux anyway) is usually much worse than Firefox unless you’re in the habit of opening hundreds (at least) of tabs.
