That's a low-level Microsoft style move. Didn't thought Google will do it
Fun fact, aside from the annoying "this page is better in Chrome" messages on multiple Google sites, Google literally serves a totally different page to Firefox mobile users than mobile Chrome users. It's not a compatible issue, because of you take the user agent settings to claim it's Chrome, magically you get the full Google site. Also add much as I hate to reference Edge... it had significantly better performance on YouTube until magically it didn't anymore. It's almost as if Google purposely made competing browsers slower on their sites, when Edge and more recent Firefox releases work faster on non Google sites. Microsoft even gave up on the original Edge and just forked Chrome.
Yes. Youtube is slow as absolute fuck on Firefox, both mobile and desktop.
That hasn't been my experience in many many years, but it was an issue at one time. It's possible that proper content filtering is making up for the difference in performance.
