While Apple, Google, and Mozilla have always had competing browsers, they have also demonstrated that they support each other when needed and where the benefit may be greatest. Recently, these companies have collaborated on: A new version of Speedometer 3.

speedometer It is a speedometer that measures responsiveness by simulating user interactions in demo web applications. After its launch by Apple’s Webkit team in 2014 and an update in 2018, they decided to develop a third version to “build a collaborative understanding of performance on the web to help improve browser performance in ways that help users.”
