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/

Why is Chromium slower than Chrome?

I wouldn't be surprised if Google is keeping certain performance enhancements closed source so they can have a competive advantage over the competition that uses the Chromium source. They have been slowly making Android open source worse by not updating parts and moving things to closed source Google Play apps.

So when Google removed don't be evil, they really meant it. It shows more and more each day.

They're just build flags or compiler versions being different, no need to be melodramatic.
