I won't go into whether FF is worse than chrome, but why do you think Mozilla is as evil as google?
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.
I dont think theres anywhere in google chrome that you can turn off tracking telemetry to google.
