> Firefox does things to push away users like Mozilla buying up an ad-tech company, collecting data on users, and using firefox to push personalized ads

i missed the part where op you're replying to said switching to chrome was the alternative to pursue over holding firefoxes nuts to the fire.

		I mean people do sincerely argue that (edit: they're literally doing it in this same tree of replies as yours), and I think they do it precisely because it hasn't occurred to them to think in comparative terms. So I think if you're going to be ambiguous on a point where ambiguity is inexcusable you deserve to get nailed for it every time.

Firefox has indeed done things that are worse than anything Chrome has done, such as abusing a privileged update channel to push content advertising a TV show to user’s browsers without their knowledge or consent.

		That was nowhere near what chrome does. This is why I have trouble taking Firefox haters seriously. A 1 time thing that they the haven't done again. Installed an add on that was never enabled or did anything at all unless you went through the trouble of enabling it. Needed you to have the Firefox studies checkbox enabled which all of us who would even care turn off first thing. Chrome: no blocking ads on websites whatsoever. The comparison isn't even close.

		Chrome and Google have not done worse than a nearly-10-year-old incident that was walked back 3 days later and hasn't resurfaced since? That's truly your position? I'm sorry but I don't take you seriously.

		Have you ever used stock Android TV? They push out updates daily about TV shows and even snack food ads.
