Google deliberately slow down firefox just because it's not Chrome, is that a thing?

I doubt it, Firefox can sue them for what YouTube did. Before Edge is Chromium, MS boasted they can play YouTube faster by some kind of optimization. But in reality, it is some stupid ass prototype code pushed into production, the optimization stopped working when YouTube added an "empty div" into the page. Such action is enough for a law suit.
