> Google websites work better on chrome. Not sure if it’s because google is doing something nefarious or if Firefox is just not keeping up with google website technologies.
For a number of sites like YouTube and GMail, it's because of Google. If you change your useragent to look like Chrome, you get served a JS payload that Firefox is fine with, and it is faster.
If your useragent isn't Chrome, they'll serve you a less optimised payload, but which tends to have wider support.
They seem to have made a tradeoff - one that generally isn't necessary under Firefox.
