I was about to comment on this, but my Android phone spontaneously rebooted.

Anyway. Before I was so rudely interrupted, I was about to say: Firefox. It is a thing. An awesome thing.

By sheer coincidence I am sure, YouTube (a Google subsidiary) just started "accidentally" degrading their performance on Firefox but not Chrome.
