Because Mozilla is as evil as google is and their browser is generally worse than chrome on average.

We are now just entering a timeline where chrome nose dives on that comparison chart of "who is better?" with compared to Firefox.

I won't go into whether FF is worse than chrome, but why do you think Mozilla is as evil as google?

I don't know why they particularly think that. But Mozilla developed a way to uniquely track people without their consent or knowledge. I am not ok with that and that is evil to me.

Which setting is that, DNS over HTTPS?

I switched back to Firefox the other day and this setting was enabled by default but it wasn't done silently. When you first launch Firefox a popup comes up saying it's going to be enabled but you have options to turn it off on the spot or click a link to learn more.

It's double edged sword. You have to use DNS either way. Everyone should decide for themselves which DNS to use.

But you can still turn it off in the settings right?

I dont think theres anywhere in google chrome that you can turn off tracking telemetry to google.

not sure about all that but we are certainly in a timeline where nuance isn't valued
