Mozilla's Firefox is the 'Google' of the FOSS world. Too big, too data (telemetry) hungry. They have experimented with doing ads. I could go on and on.

You cannot be preaching about privacy and refuse to provide a simple toggle to opt-out of all telemetry in your software.

FYI I do use ungoogled chromium as my main browser.

Agreed that Mozilla is big, data hungry, and hypocritical.

That's why I use LibreWolf: it respects my privacy and autonomy, and I help fight against Google's growing web engine monopoly. I specifically don't use UnGoogled Chromium because I don't want to look like "just another Chrome user" when companies decide whether or not they should test web apps on anything besides chrome, or prioritize non-chrome bugs.

Seriously, give LibreWolf a shot. It's a very minimal fork of Firefox that just removes the Mozilla botnet parts of the browser, so it should be (relatively) easy for maintainers to keep it going for the forseeable future. You can install and update it with homebrew. And, y'know... you're not helping Google push around web developers with Manifest V3 ad-blocker killers, AMP, FLOC, etc.
