Are use Firefox for my primary browser, but there are certain sites (made by google primarily) which work much better in chromium based browsers.

Whether Google is intentionally degrading their performance in Firefox or simply doesn't care is an interesting technical detail, but from a practical standpoint I need to use these sites for my job, so I also need to keep a chromium-based browser around.

True, but unless you are a heavy Google user I don't see a cap in my performance to work with, GMail for example from time to time or using Drive, etc.

The Google Voice desktop site performs remarkably poorly on Firefox, often locking up entirely.

The Google voice desktop site is a piece of crap on chrome too... Though I totally believe it's way worse on Firefox.

If you need to use it heavily, then yes. But I don't. I think Firefox performs optimaly 99% times for everyone. There will be a point where you may switch to Chrome, or Safari, but just for specific things unless that specific is the most important one.
