It will probably work OK if you have the required 4TB of memory.
The way web-apps are made these days, you really need to be able to read the specs before visiting a web-site.
With many of these web-apps, I'd prefer it if the web page linked to an installer, which allows you to make decisions on the elements of the app that you want to use.
E.g. if you don't want foreign apps to store your details and send them to foreign security services, you don't install that bit; and if you don't want advertising, you just uncheck the box that installs the advertising server -- finding out what an installed app is sending where is a relatively trivial task, but let's see someone try to find out what a web-page server is doing.
As it is, if you open a web-page, you are pretty much giving the owner of the site permission to do whatever the Hell he likes, particularly with your system resources.
Perhaps that's why apple doesn't like Flash -- Flash allows you to limit the resources allocated to it -- but it's certain that the huge move toward web-apps has been driven more by "What can we force onto users theough a back door?" than "Do no evil".
I'd love to see metrics of how much/many system resources would be consumed by installed versions v. web-app versions of programs, and how much of the bloated web-app cr@p people would put up with, if they had such options to not allow it into their computers.

It's good to remember that this whole world of computing, software, and the Interwebs wasn't built by big corporations, governments, advertising agencies, or other @rseholes trying to control or steal from everyone; it was built by people like us, who were trying to make something worthwhile -- and we succeeded!
Doing everything through browsers is akin to just handing it all over to the big corporations, governments, advertising agencies, and other @rseholes.
Brothers! We must uni... Ooh! Shiny things over there!

I don't like people lying to me.
I tried it with all browsers I have installed (except chrome), and it worked fine, but the site owner's screaming "Sorry, this needs chrome" at me has got his site blacklisted.
