I heard websites are loading slower on that browser bruh.
Vague statement. You have any more information or sources?
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.
