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've read somewhere that changing the user agent fixes your issue. It is intentional.

Google intentionally gimps what they serve to their competition to make them look worse. It's definitely an anticompetitive practice, and they're walking a fine line about it to not get in legal trouble.

Interesting. I have to try that. I remember reading that MS do the same for the web version of Outlook, but I don't use that, so I can't confirm.
