websites are coded to perform poorly when a non-Chrome browser is using them
many of them basically are, but not intentionally. a lot of web developers only test in Chrome, and Chrome does some really weird shit (especially with JS and CSS) that means if you target Chrome you’re passively degrading the experience for not-Chrome.
I personally develop my code targeting Firefox or Safari most of the time, since both work a lot closer to spec with JS and CSS than Chrome does.
There’s circumstantial evidence that most of google’s sites degrade performance intentionally.
And plenty of sites try to stop you with a “only works on chrome” message, but work perfectly fine if you just spoof your browser string to look like you’re using chrome.
