It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox::Firefox's extended add-on support for mobile is coming with version 120, a good reason to switch to the browser permanently.

Sites are purposefully adding delays to firebox browser IDs or perhaps non chrome id's depending on sources. . https://www.zdnet.com/article/youtube-is-slowing-video-loads-on-firefox-heres-how-to-fix-that/

Ah yes I heard about that. I suppose it's up to the interpretation of "loading". Firefox still loads everything as fast, including the code where Google tells the browser to wait for 5 seconds. But the average user does not care about the technicalities of it. Only that they get a degraded experience on Firefox.

IMO that gives me even more reason to use Firefox. I'm not going to be bullies or deceived into giving in to corporate malfeasance.
