Grab some popcorn, get a nice drink, and sit down, guys gals and non binary pals, because oh boyyyyyy, have I got a story for you.
Section one: """"private"""" advertising. Modzilla decided to incredibly stupid recently, you wanna know how? They added checks notes """"privacy"""" preserving advertising in their browser, which is the exact same thing that brave has got hate for, for obvious reasons.
Privacy cannot be achieved while advertisements are being shoved down our throats. This theory, that ads can be privacy friendly, is what corporations want us to believe and it is a disgusting view that goes against the very reality we find ourselves living in.
Direction to an advertiser isn't privacy friendly, as the advertisers themselves are not. Why is Modzilla adding advertisements to Firefox? Because they are getting desperate. They want to make sure that their big daddy CEO gets millions while we have to put up with the the bullshit that we all moved away from Chrome because of.
Section two: a telemetry and moral nightmare, teaming up with zionist bastards. Firefox turns on telemetry by default that goes straight back to Google. Guess what Google is doing about the war in Gaza right now? Funding it, the genocide of innocent people and making sure they are being killed. By allowing this telemetry we are thereby allowing Google to make money off of it and as such: Israel, the worst enemy of anyone with common sense, money.
Section three: teaming up with vladdy daddy (vladimir putin). You heard me right. Firefox is teaming up with the Russian Federation to stop people from forming their own opinion on the Ukraine war, therefore proving that they are extremely pro censorship. They've already stated before that they're willing to collaborate with western shills, but this is just the cherry on top of the cake.
Section four: the mortal enemy of the revolution must be avoided. Modzilla is a corporation, corporations are the enemy of the revolution. Modzilla abuses their developers and they have been found bullying disabled people behind closed doors. If we want a revolution to happen, then the least we can do is avoid the companies with blood on their hands, and like it or not, Modzilla is one of them.
Section five: what should I use instead? Glad you asked, if it isn't already obvious, I personally recommend only one browser: Librewolf. For a DeGoogled android operating system, I recommend you use Vandium, it's a browser made by the people over at the GrapheneOS project and it's amazing. For iOS? You aren't private, but I would recommend using Snowhaze.
Section six: wait, what does Modzilla have to do with politics? Ironically, a lot of things. They perhaps unintentionally, but still do fund the zionist project, by aiding Google. They are an extremely disgusting company that has hopped on the AI trend that silicon valley has adopted. They are joining Chrome in becoming a monopoly in themselves, and Modzilla is a corporation that has major donations from some of the most evil companies in the world.
Regardless of this negative rant, I hope you enjoyed the post, and please consider using another browser since it will be much better for you!

Nothing I can do about that unfortunately :(( ): https://www.heise.de/en/news/For-advertising-Firefox-now-collects-user-data-by-default-9801345.html https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/privacy-preserving-attribution https://miloslav.website/blog/2020/10/26/firefox-privacy/
No it isn't. Brave replaces ads with those that companies have directly paid Brave to advertise. Their privacy-preserving nature is predicated on trusting Brave. Once landed on the advertisers page, there's no system in place to preserve your privacy. Mozilla's implementation sends deindentified data to a 3rd party unrelated to Mozilla. I'm not saying this is good but saying it's exactly the same thing is fundamentally incorrect and misleading.
If you want to boycott Google, you can easily do so while using Firefox. And Mozilla still gets paid, so this doesn't help Google at all (for users that don't want it to)
There's no action to substantiate your 3rd point which hasn't also been retracted.
The rest is conjecture. There is very little reason to introduce potential vulnerabilities to my system by using a Firefox fork when there's nothing really wrong with the upstream releases.
