How many users?
In case this wasn't a rhetorical question: billions . "1.59 billion daily active users on Facebook on average for June 2019; 2.41 billion monthly active users on Facebook as of June 30, 2019" Source: https://newsroom.fb.com/company-info/ .
They’re not hard sums to do.

Firefox Sync let's you syncronize Bookmarks, Open tabs, Logins, History, Add-ons and Preferences across devices by logging in once with username password
Can each of those be turned on or off per device, and dont get sneakily turned back on during upgrades?
Yes, each (bookmarks, history, passwords, tabs ) can be turned on or off per device basis.

Well, they're shilling their own worthless cryptocurrency, so it is obvious to me that they cannot be.
It is an opt-in system. They're not making you use it and you don't lose anything by choosing not to opt-in. What exactly are they doing that you would consider "shilling"? https://brave.com/brave-rewards/
Whoever are pushing them - including Telegram that I otherwise like - are damaging their reputation in my eyes.

Yeah, they're all on. Seems to be fine thus far, and there's an article about what they actually did to fix it, so I'm ready to say it's fixed. Only minor gripe is userChrome.css seems to not be used now.
You need to enable it in about:config Set this option to true: toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets
Is there a new method available/forthcoming, or is this more control planned to be wrenched out of user's hands?
> Firefox 70 introduces three new properties related to text decoration/underline: > text-decoration-thickness: sets the thickness of lines added via text-decoration. > text-underline-offset: sets the distance between a text decoration and the text it is set on. Bear in mind that this only works on underlines. > text-decoration-skip-ink: sets whether underlines and overlines are drawn if they cross descenders and asc…
It'll be nice to simplify underline links tremendously once that becomes implemented in IE/Edge & Safari. The existing methods for avoiding underlines overlapping text descenders like Tufte-CSS's method ( https://github.com/edwardtufte/tufte-css ) are kinda crazy looking, and also cause the occasional bug with text highlighting.
New version gives SSL_ERROR_UNKNOWN_CA_ALERT on my client certs. Guess I have to go back to Chrome now...
Firefox + Mozilla are awesome. I still have a Mozilla 1.0 t-shirt from the first release party! I've recently seen a ton of FF fans state that the reason they love Firefox is that it doesn't have ads or track you and preserves your privacy. However, Firefox wouldn't exist without Google and (to a lesser extent, Google Chrome). They make 94% of their revenue via bundling and distribution deals with companies like Goog…
> Without Google's ad business Firefox wouldn't exist Really? My recollection of events 15 years ago is a little hazy, but wasnt FF a browser-only release of Mozilla, itself Netscape which has been around as long as time itself (~25 years?) What are we talking about here? There was very definitely a push around 2003 to get FF adopted en masse, and I guess Google probably were a big factor in this ... Bit of a stretch…

Most of Mozilla's funding came from Google in exchange for making Google the default search page.
Right ... It really isn’t inconceivable that they wouldn’t have got funding from somewhere else. It was a marketing opportunity for Google, them being the David to Microsoft’s Goliath. Remember that whole ”don’t be evil” thing? Turns out it was jusy a ruse to be abandoned once the market had consolidated.
I expected that you wanted to say : It is conceivable that they would have got funding from somewhere else
