I would love that Firefox focuses on the browser. I think I wouldn't oppose some monetizing strategy like DDG based on affiliate sales, or even a realistic affordable subscription model (10€/year?). They should put the efforts on privacy and good website usage, maybe include an ad blocker.

But we'll have to wait until Google finally stops paying them for the default search engine. Maybe diverting resources on the Firefox Focus brand will be a transition phase.

I wouldn’t mind that, for 10 bucks. I do want a subscriber version that doesn’t have a google search or any telemetry beyond a crash log.

I’d be ok with anonymous telemetry which allows them to uncover performance problems and fix bugs.
