I certainly do. That said, I struggle to find another browser that's any better and most are worse. So I accept Firefox as the lesser evil.
Safari. That's the only browser I really use.

Firefox is still working great for me, and I intend to keep using it for the foreseeable future. I don't know what it might take for people to migrate away from Chrome en masse, but the alternative is there.
Mozilla is slowly turning to ad company too. Let's see what future brings us.
Have been using Firefox for a long time, no issues, though long ago when I had little memory, Chrome was using less of it. Firefox also has HTTPS-only mode, encrypted DNS without fallbacks, supports SOCKS and Encrypted Client Hello (although almost no website support it). However, it is better to just buy more memory (unless you are lucky to use Apple products). Regarding analytics, I believe browsers should take use…
FWIW, it's practically impossible to provide that guarantee because the API necessarily provides at least the data point of, "Did they select an option in the permission notification?" ("If yes, what option was selected?" etc.)
It's often said that the only solution to this is regulation and there seems to be a good case for that perspective.

And the recent antitrust ruling against Google might see Mozilla lose like 80% of their revenue...

That's not an option unless you're an Apple user, though.
I can't say what it's like on Linux or Windows, but the Duck browser is pretty good. It's my second choice. On Macs and iOS, and iPadOS, it's clunkier than Safari, but less clunky than Firefox. Perhaps the Windows experience is similar.

Firefox is usually great for me, but with Chromium-based browsers having such a massive market share monopoly I do occasionally find a website that doesn't work properly on Firefox. But, I will stick with Firefox as long as possible.

If a bird app (or, heck, pancake recipe site) asked for WebRTC or GPU access I would be rightfully suspicious. It's a shame these things don't happen.

In light of that acquisition, this also seems related. Firefox is the best choice but Mozilla is the biggest reason why people aren't using it and shit like this doesn't help.
