Sadly, even this is getting harder. I'm running voidlinux on an old 32bit eeepc with 8gb of ram. Mostly, everything is ok for a kids computer except for web browsing. FF simply can't render anything video wise (YouTube, etc), and whilst chromium _can_ I'm unable to get any extensions to successfully block ads. I'm not prepared to let my kids see ads.

Does it have access to all 8gb (because its 32bit)?

Even if so, sounds like a problem with no hardware graphics acceleration to my untrained ear

Specifically, FF ability to use hardware graphics Accel. Like I said, chromium is fine but the trade-off is unacceptable.
