> Webmasters should give all visitors with a Chrome user agent a loading penalty of 1 second and a popup saying that the website runs faster on Firefox

it's for ads:

> Google throttles the load time of non-AMP ads by giving them artificial one-second delays

so would need to limit the +1 second for ads to be equivalent, but you could just run "ads" for ad blockers instead :)

More info on 1-second delay when discussed last year:

It started as a 1-second delay for all ads, but then they found a technical way to allow for ads made with AMP to load sooner.
