Firefox was amazing by the time Chrome was released. Google survives by selling advertisements, essentially making the web worse.

This seems entirely subjective. I prefer using Lichess to Chess.com, but I would in no way think that Chess.com, with its sponsoring of full-time players, makes the game worse. Advertising-related money goes somewhere and pays for things.

"Firefox was amazing by the time Chrome was released"

Yes but it also frequently ground to a halt trying to multitask tabs. Chrome didn't so we all switched to chrome.
