Devs should really grab an old netbook from ebay with an atom cpu and 1-2GB of ram and see how well their new React app works on that
@mikoto I bought a 2GB RAM/16GB SSD Intel Atom mini-PC long ago, back when Windows 10 was new. It swapped constantly and was unusable for _any_ purpose. I tried switching it to ChromeOS and it was slightly better, but still barely usable. 2GB is just not a realistic config anymore.
@stilescrisis browser devs also need to optimize too

How an Atom PC can run XP with Office 2003 (or even Debian with Libreoffice) fine but not a modern OS is really more of a sign how bloated everything has gotten more than anything.

Like the joke goes, when hardware engineers give us more performance software engineers promptly squander it.
