Usable browser for an old iMac

Yes, I could upgrade to a newer GPU, but looking at Gumtree it's about cost neutral with buying a slightly newer (and still supported) model second hand.
The thing about OCLP is that it has graphics acceleration. Macs as old as 2008 can be upgraded to run High Sierra. Metal capable Macs can run every OS up to Monterey. Obviously some features will not be available as some depend on M# architecture.
BTW, I imagine it’s a typo but my iMac is 2012, not 2021.
Here’s my MacBook Pro of the same year.
