While Google apps definitely perform less than ideally for me on Firefox, I think that falls far short of unusable. I use Google Docs, Drive, YouTube, and other Google properties in 4K on my old (5+ year old AMD Ryzen 2400G) system. I definitely don't relish using their apps, but I definitely can and don't feel hindered.

The 2400G came out in February 2018 so your system is 3.5 years old at max?

You're right. I don't know how old my desktop is, I confused it for my laptop, which I remember I bought in 2016.

I always use somewhat recent laptops, but with middle range specs (e.g. the current 13” M1), so the effect is more visible than on your system I think.

I can/could use any of the properties in a pinch, but something would give after a while. The worst offender for me was Meet, a few hours of here and there meetings would trigger weird interface scaling effects, or it just wouldn’t join any new meeting with the screen staying stale. On firefox Bluejeans or Zoom wouldn’t do it, just Meet.
