It seems that it's faster on every website I use except Gmail, Google Voice, and Youtube. I wonder whether Google is using some sort of Chrome-specific javascript to make those sites run faster in their own browser?

3.4.0
Polymer uses v1 WCs since Polymer v2
YouTube Studio doesn’t suffer from these problems.
uBlock Origin is the only extension that I have that could feasibly alter anything, and all it’s doing is blocking googleads.g.doubleclick.net. Nothing of interest shows up in the dev tools. 99.9% sure the bug is with YouTube, though in what particular way I cannot guess.
Found which one, too: it was a rule of my own that I added almost a year ago to kill off some of the annoying cards they pop up at the ends of many videos, which hide the video content; turns out my rule was just a touch too broad for how they do things.
Mea culpa.
Designing a development process that naturally achieves a malicious outcome is just as bad as actively making malicious decisions: https://www.zdnet.com/article/former-mozilla-exec-google-has...
Google is perfectly allowed to make mistakes or forget something. The criticism is that this is a repeated behavior, as if they decided that it is never going to be a priority.

"A lot of people ask, 'Why? Why treat [other browsers] this way?'"
"Why? 'cause f*ck 'em, that's why."
Does anyone have any hard numbers to validate this? Or are we just random outliers?
