I think it's more like a new generation of people started using Mac OS on which I heard Firefox suck. So being already in a walled garden environment they did not care about entering Google's.

Firefox was always good on other OS. And you got noscript there with full access to block everything Chrome does not want you to block.

FWIW, I use Firefox on High Sierra and I don't think it sucks at all.

About noscript:

Recently I was playing with it, in an attempt to curate which site is allowed to make connections to which domain but I discovered that I cannot do it on a per domain basis and every whitelisted entry was applied everywhere. Apparently that was something that could be configured at noscript's ABE panel which doesn't exist in the latest versions.

If you want per domain rules I would suggest trying umatrix instead.

uBlock Origin can also do that.
