Why would I use firefox when mozilla has repeatedly lied to me, pretended to care for privacy while making moves to invade it, removed support for features I relied upon, refused to consider linux as worth their time, forced telemetry surveillance upon those who specifically disabled it, dropped what made firefox useful in an attempt to be more chrome-like, etc.
The list goes on and on, mozilla has a terrible record and proved multiple times that it should not be trusted.
After the pulseaudio debacle and after being a supporter since its first steps, I quit firefox and removed it from all computers I maintain to never return. There is no thing mozilla can say or do that will make me go back to firefox, apart from acknowledging their role and taking responsibility by resigning and releasing firefox to the world.
Whataboutism does not help progress on either front. Both mozilla and google have been acting in bad faith more than any of us would like to admit. Both deserve to be called out, not just accepeted as 'not as bad'.

You are completely missing the point. At the end of the day you have to pick a browser, and so it matters a great deal which one is worse, even if neither is perfect.
Personally I still trust Mozilla above any other major browser vendor. They're not even in the same ballpark.
