You're so close but you're still missing the point. Google gives money to Firefox to make it the default search, that's it. Google has zero say what Firefox does besides it being the default search engine. Google does the same thing with Apple's Safari, they give Apple literally over a Billion dollars just to be the default search, so would Apple be bad then too? If I can encourage you Just to use Firefox and try not to make excuses for staying with Google's browsers just because Firefox isn't absolutely perfect.
You're also missing the point. Google gives firefox around 85% of it's revenue. We are really fighting an uphill battle against against corporations that have even bribed our allies. I don't want to argue because at this point it's pointless I don't want to be pitted against people who support FOSS because that's what I want to use and that's what I use most of time. But when it comes to browsers we have lost that battle.
Unless we find 800 million dollars in donations, Mozilla is just the pet dog of google at this point.
My dude you’re not here to convince me, you’re here to try convince yourself you’ve already resigned. Stop making excuses and just use Firefox. Over and out, cheers!
