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/

I have been using Firefox for basically as long as I can remember and I love it. However, there's one website that I go to Chromium for: GeoGuessr/Google Street View. For some reason it's unbelievably slow and sluggish in Firefox whereas it works normally in Chromium. Why could this be? To be clear, it's only the Street View part (and moving/panning/zooming) that's slow on GeoGuessr.
It wouldn't surprise me if the implementation has bias towards Chromium based browsers as both street view and Chromium are from Google.
They were literally caught artificially slowing down page loads and responsiveness on non-chrome browsers a while back.
