I can confirm. They might use your origin account country?

I can getting 2 images taken at different times when I am using Firefox or Chrome.

The Chrome one seems to be much higher quality.

Hey Google, is serving a lower-resolution image to Firefox part of leveraging a monopoly against Firefox?

Is your legal team fine with that? Is there any legitimate reason anyone could possibly identify for why you would purposefully worsen the experience for a fully compliant browser like Firefox, by lowering the resolution?

What does your legal team have to say about this?

You can get the better version in Firefox if you click Globe in the menu on the left.
