  Google's QUIC (GQUIC) is an emerging transport protocol designed to reduce
HTTP latency. Deployed across its platforms and positioned as an alternative to
TCP+TLS, GQUIC is feature rich: offering reliable data transmission and secure
communication. It addresses TCP+TLS's (i) Head of Line Blocking (HoLB), (ii)
excessive round-trip times on connection establishment, and (iii) entrenchment.
Efforts by the IETF are in progress to standardize the next generation of
HTTP's (HTTP/3, or H3) delivery, with their own variant of QUIC. While
performance benchmarks have been conducted between GQUIC and HTTP/2-over-TCP
(H2), no such analysis to our knowledge has taken place between H2 and H3. In
addition, past studies rely on Page Load Time as their main, if not only,
metric. The purpose of this work is to benchmark the latest draft specification
of H3 and dig further into a user's Quality of Experience (QoE) using
Lighthouse: an open source (and metric diverse) auditing tool. Our findings
show that, for one of H3's early implementations, H3 is mostly worse but
achieves a higher average throughput
