If so can you still have a good experience web browsing or on YouTube with the cpu and 4gb ram?

Of course, this device will continue to function and retains support for Google Play store and the Linux environment. Personally, I'd recommend either for your primary browser just to ensure you're running a modern browser experience. Of course, this could be slower and/or less stable than the default ChromeOS browser.
Good luck!

After disabling write protect (a screw on the motherboard, or powering up without battery), install the mrchromebox BIOS, then follow the instructions to install Linux.

But you know what they say: One man's ewaste is another man's slick deal.
- Install a browser using the Google Play Store
- Install a browser within the Linux development environment
Installing a browser via the Google Play store is generally going to be the easiest option to implement. However, the limitations imposed by the Google Play Store option relate to support for the older version of Android in a chromebook which stopped receiving ChromeOS updates in June 2022. I own an Acer R11 which stopped receiving updates in the same time (June 2022). The Android subsystem is based upon Android 9 (aka Android Pie). Some Android app-based browsers cannot be installed as they require a newer version of Android, such as Opera or Brave. However, other browsers will have lesser minimum requirements such as Opera Mini (Android 6) or the DuckDuckGo Browser (Android 8).Installing a browser within the Linux development environment is going to involve a few more steps than a Play store search and Install, but provides potentially more flexibility as to your browser choices. I actually used to run Microsoft Edge(!) in such an environment.
Of course, in either case you can expect a browser which performs more slowly and less stably than the native ChromeOS browser. However, the benefits are presumably twofold:
- A fully updated browser with support for the latest web experience
- A browser which runs within a sandbox within the ChromeOS environment, providing an additional layer of safety/security
Good luck!Jon
P.S. - This message was posted using my Acer R11 to validate some of the data points noted above.
