They're really not opposing google. By default, they send google every keypress in the address bar. They've also integrated google analytics to a degree that I'm quite uncomfortable with. So I kinda agree with you in principal, but in practice, they get a ton of money from Google; their CEO in particular gets a ton of money from Google, and it shows in the decisions that they've made.

Mozilla opposes Google by taking a stand against some of the APIs that are shipping in Chrome: https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/.

It's not 100% in either direction. They're opposing some stuff, but acquiescing when it benefits them directly.

As far as I know, Mozilla reviews proposals based on what’s good for the web, not them. There is no “benefits them” in this equation.
