Always keep in mind that Mozilla has long since been captured by google as insurance against anti-trust suits like microsoft faced back in the 90s

Sadly FF (and some of its forks) is the best browser we have, but Mozilla's leadership is constantly sabotaging the project with ads, spyware, anti-privacy-pretending-to-be-privacy (such as this) and stupid feature bloat. Adding more advertising integrations to a browser is an anti-feature on par with the bullshit "Brave" does. But this is done as an underhanded attempt to maintain chrome as a defacto monopoly, despite chrome being designed specifically to erode privacy and being far worse.
