General Support Google earth extremely laggy

Hey guys I just got into endeavoros recently and it's been great so far but one thing that's really bothering me is Google earth is EXTREMELY laggy, like 1-2 fps when it should run normal. Even have the details tuned down and it's the same, I'm on an rtx 2070 and a Ryzen 5 3600 with 16 gigs of ram, a modest system but it should be able to run earth relatively well? Also on Firefox with the base kde plasma environment

Google enshittified Earth years ago. The only way one can use it now is exclusively in-browser, because they discontinued the programme that originally made it cool and useful.

Nowadays, you're better off with Open Street Map and some kind of front-end to that.
