Some testing later, and I'm now certain that it's specifically Youtube (and *only* Youtube) that slows down Firefox to a crawl.

@joepie91 oh yes, youtube tabs have gotten way more intensive recently in firefox. i think it's to encourage people to switch to chrome.

@bananas Right, I had noticed that - but the thing I was unsure about was whether it was specifically Youtube, or rather caused by eg. a specific browser feature that Youtube happens to use.

And well, the answer seems to be "specifically Youtube", which suggests intentionality.
