It's apparently not even subtle enough to make that claim, it checks the useragent and sleeps for 5 seconds if it's not Chrome.
I was wondering why YouTube started taking a while to load pages in the last couple weeks. Fucking Google, pulling this shit.
Not that I don't believe you, but do you have a source for that?
It's discussed in the firefox sub (link)
EDIT: There are some claims that this is related to anti-adblock.
If changing your user agent to Chrome on Firefox fixes it that justification won't fly
