Yes, and TenFourFox was never exactly stellar in terms of performance, it feels sluggish even on my PowerMac G5 Dual.
I used to be able to make music — including recording a couple of instruments at 48 kHz applying effects in real-time on my PowerPC Mac Mini, now I doubt I would be able to even read the news using a more or less modern browser on that machine.
The Web is one of the worst offenders when it comes to making machines obsolete.

I have an old ThinkPad T43 from about the same era (early to mid 2000s) and I can use Matrix chats, I can read emails, I can browse Gemini and even the Web (without all the fluff, using w3m), listen to music and watch videos at 720p and even low-complexity 1080p ones, I can code using vim, it even runs Quake3 more or less well…
Just start Firefox, open 4-5 tabs of "modern" web — and the machine becomes unusable 😂
