Is Firefox tolerable to use on a pi 5 or 500+? (lemmy.ml)

I've found that my Pi 400's built in web browser is almost unusable with bloaty script-heavy sites, so I'm wondering if the Pi 5 or 500+ is any better. There would be an NVMe SSD present if that helps.

If someone has this setup, could they take a look at homedepot.com ? That's a very slow and obnoxious site that I use sometimes, as I do buy some from there when I can't avoid it. I'm ok if it's a bit sluggish but my Pi 400 was near incapable of navitation or loading the page in a reasonable amount of waiting.

Thanks!

Thanks, yeah, I've been using Ublock Origin plus some local DNS blackholing when browsing on my laptop, and will do the same on a pi if I use one.

Maybe I'll now see if I can figure out if something is misconfigured on my 400, instead of buying a 5 or 500. I have some FOMO because of expected further increases in ram and ssd prices, but meh.
