Why would you wait for this one single thing when you have had so many historical reasons to choose Firefox over Google already? Why wait for Google to piss you off for the thousandth time when 999 times is plenty?

This is probably the only actual thing I care about in a browser, at least between Firefox and Chrome. That and 1password.

That's totally fair. Among other things, I care about supporting a foundation that supports open source rather than an infinitely monied, privacy eroding advertising conglomerate.

I don't have any other major issues with Chrome and I've developed several plugins for it that I regularly use. Is Firefox better nowadays because when I left it, Chrome just seemed better in most ways. Firefox felt like an outdated (design) memory hog.

I don't know when the last time you used Firefox but the answer to your question will always be yes. It's been steadily getting better for many years now. I think it's better than Chrome not just for philosophical reasons but also on the merits.
I encourage you to check it out again if you haven't in a few years. There's been some pretty major changes.
