Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away. (old.reddit.com)

There are two US antitrust cases against Google right now:

U.S. and Plaintiff States v. Google LLC (2020) (in trial; list of many documents)
U.S. and Plaintiff States v. Google LLC (2023) (Complaint PDF)

The first is related to things like paying to be the default search engine on iPhone, Firefox, etc. The second is related to ad tech. Neither really directly addresses the issues that average people have with Google's behavior though, so keep filing complaints!
