I don't understand your comment. They are the good guys browser-wise but that doesn't mean they are good guys everywhere.
They're not the good guys browser wise, they're just slightly less shitty than Google, which was (still is probably?) their biggest customer.
How do you arrive at that conclusion?
Mozilla has consistently supported user privacy and the open web, which is consistent with their mission statement. They also need to pay the bills, and they've done that in a very unobtrusive way. Look at Pocket, which is easy to disable and is reasonably privacy friendly (for what it does). Look at Mozilla VPN, which is just repackaged Mullvad, essentially the gold standard for privacy-friendly VPN.
Yeah, Mozilla does a lot of stuff I disagree with and I'd run it differently, but I think they do enough good that they're on the good end of the spectrum. Using Firefox isn't the lesser of evils, it's a decent option among good options. Maybe it's not the best for you, but it's pretty good.
