That might well be why google funds them. I can’t say I mind, and it doesn’t make them more user-unfriendly.

Mozilla or Google?
If Mozilla: Do you think that Mozilla would think of their users' privacy if it meant alienating Google and loosing their money? I'm not picking a side here - I have no idea so I'm just asking.

Yes. One example is tracking protection, which blocks Google Analytics on every FF installation by default.
No, because there is no conspiracy needed. Chrome is a product of an adtech company, and Firefox is funded by the very same one. Mozilla is at best fighting a losing battle here, forced to make concessions to survive. Or, it could be argued that Firefox exists only to serve as an antitrust shield for Google.
