This makes no sense. Firefox adds telemetry, that upsets you, so you go to a browser with even more telemetry?

By using a Chromium based browser you're making it more difficult for Firefox to stay up to date and you make it more difficult for websites to see the need to support Firefox at all. Once Firefox is out of the race, Google can do whatever it likes with its browser.

Firefox doesn't matter at all. Google already does whatever it likes with its browser. Firefox exists only because of Google money, so Google can credibly point at a competitor.

Personally, I can't imagine hand installing crx files every time an extension is updated. I can't imagine not having sync or container tabs. I can't imagine having "experimental settings" instead of about:config.

I don't update my extensions but once per year when I reinstall the machine with a fresh OS.

Which non-consensual telemetry are you talking about? You mean the "experiments"? That's all consensual...

Or are you talking about something I'm unaware of?

To be fair, opt-out kinda is the antithesis of informed consent.
