Uninstalled. I have enough of you guys copying Chrome and turning Firefox into a DRM and social media browser. Get lost! At least the Seamonkey guys know that advanced users also have the right to have their Options inside of the browser's code, something what you Mozilla guys are unable to understand these days! What is good for Chrome is not equal as good for Mozilla Firefox!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Proprietary software and live in a select group of countries and pay a fee that isn't cheap for everyone.

Countries yes. Proprietary software, probably not a good argument. For example, I use Firefox for my web browsing, and Safari for Netflix - Safari uses EME so it's a much smoother experience. Fee that isn't cheap for everyone, I also doubt. Where I live, Netflix costs like £6.99. That is legitimately cheap for everyone. In Britain, you pay less for Netflix than the cost of a TV license.

You live in one of the countries with the strongest economies in the world. That something is "cheap" for you doesn't mean it's cheap for everyone else.

£6.99 is small change to you, but it's about about four meals for me. It's also more than what I have in my wallet/bank account near at this very moment.

And there's places where economies are way weaker and my own. Heck, I know people who earn less than that per day.
