That jscontroller= stuff in the DOM is Google’s internal framework called Wiz. Easily one of the worst things I’ve used in my career. It’s like a hyper engineered Backbone.js. Working with it is so tedious that passionate web developers who might fix these perf issues burn out and leave. What’s left are promo-seeking impact farmers who don’t really care about these sorts of things.

The Google-Web is even worse on Firefox. My i7-7700K + RTX 2080ti can barely handle rendering some (small/medium) spreadsheets in Google Sheets anymore. It used to work fine, but seems every month the performance of Google properties on Firefox are getting worse and worse. Even YouTube seems to have a artificial delay in starting the videos if you're using Firefox.
