You can boot with a kernel parameter mem=512M or mem=384M or even mem=256M so the kernel will only use that much of your RAM, so userland Linux programs (like Chromium and Firefox) will then not even know the rest of your RAM exists! This makes testing the "low RAM" case trivial. In the same way, you can temporarily turn a multi-core CPU into a single-core one by adding the parameter nosmp Together, those two options let you run your machine with less CPU and less RAM that it really has, for testing purposes. Just edit the kernel line temporarily from the GRUB menu when you boot.
