I would hope that Googlers can make their sites work fastest on the browser that they own and control the internals of. If I were building a browser, I'd be seriously tempted to do a lot of things for speed that don't seem to be on the table right now. For instance, I'd aggressively bundle common JS or CSS dependencies and short-circuit loading them over the wire. E.g. a site wants jquery 1.x, or Bootstrap 3? I can load that faster from even spinning rust than over fiber, and a few MB of JS or CSS is nothing to store.

Yes that's all fine, but we're talking about YouTube here as the offender not Chrome. It's fine to make your browser work faster, that's not the same as making your website work slower on other browsers. > I would hope that Googlers can make their sites work fastest on the browser that they own and control the internals of. I would hope they'd do that by just optimizing for Chrome, not by deciding to base the whole website on an API that's deprecated and has been superseded and is ONLY still supported by Chrome.
