> Ask current Firefox users why they switched, and you’ll often hear “It’s not Chrome.”

Pretty sure they covered that in the last reason of TFA

It was my primary reason to drop Chrome twelve years ago. Every so often I try Chrome again, but other than a minor speed boost, I see no reason to switch back.

The UI isn’t great, nor is resource usage. These days I don’t bother installing an alternative browser and just use Safari.

Same reason for me. Firefox would have to be utterly broken for me to switch to chrome.

> It's not Google.

It's still almost exclusively funded by Google though.

However Google does it to avoid anticompetitive lawsuit,and not for helping snoop on users for Google

We can only speculate about Google's true motivations and there is no reason to believe that it is only that. You can't deny that a privacy focused browser having their funding depend on one of the primary privacy violators on the web is a conflict of interest. Even if Google is not directly pressuring Mozilla to implement/not implement things, Mozilla is still going to be hesitant to piss off Google too much.
