Thought I'd never see the day when Firefox would match Chrome on Speedometer.

There's also a few other benchmarks got a sizable boost. https://arewefastyet.com/

Crazy fact. Firefox, for me, has ALWAYS been much faster/stronger on YouTube than any chromium based browser I've used. Better than chrome on their own site. This makes it even better. I love this browser.

YouTube has been ok for me in Firefox, but other Google apps, in particular Docs/Sheets, always become very laggy after a few minutes. When this happens, it seems to affect the rest of the browser too, so other tabs that I have open slow down as well.

I've read somewhere that changing the user agent fixes your issue. It is intentional.

Google intentionally gimps what they serve to their competition to make them look worse. It's definitely an anticompetitive practice, and they're walking a fine line about it to not get in legal trouble.

Interesting. I have to try that. I remember reading that MS do the same for the web version of Outlook, but I don't use that, so I can't confirm.
